Preface
Oil palm wood is one of the oil palm solid wastes which available in large amount throughout
the year and currently this material has not been fully utilized yet, due to great variations in
physical and mechanical properties which caused many difculties of working and using the
wood for application. It might also be due to the insufcient the scientic information and the
know-how of this biomaterial. This study was carried out to provide sufcient information and
to improve the wood properties of oil palm using bioresin.
The dissertation consists of ve chapters. The rst chapter describes very short-history of oil
palm from its origin-land to the expansion of this crop in the Southeast Asia, and discusses
about the scientic background in combination to the problem of the oil palm wood utilization
to address the objectives and hypothesis of this study.
The second chapter contains the reviewed of the related literatures, which is divided into parts,
i.e. general reviews and related research reviews. In general reviews, the several subjects were
discussed and explained systematically starting from the forest and wood trends in Indonesia
followed by development of oil palm industry as an impact of ban log export that is introduced in 1985. Further, the author reviewed more detail about the oil palm, including botanical
description, distribution and utilization of this popular crop as well as reviewed the bioresin
availability, uses and production and trading. The related researches were reviewed including
the oil palm wood conditions, its characters (anatomical characteristics, physical and mechanical properties, and chemical composition). The characteristic of bioresin was also discussed in
this chapter.
Third chapter consists of description and explanation about the materials used in this study and
the methodology to run all experiments both in the eld and laboratory. The processing of oil
palm trunk and manufacturing specimens was explained in this chapter. The methodology part
contains the research frame which guiding the whole experimental-chain activities, explanation
the methods used starting from the characteristics of wood (the anatomical investigation, wood
zoning determination and bioresin reinforcement techniques) to the testing of physical, mechanical and machinery properties. Experimental data analysis and scope, location and limitation
of the research were discussed in this chapter.
Fourth chapter contains all the results and discussions which are divided into ve sections, i.e.:
Section 4.1 discusses the anatomical characteristics of oil palm wood, including macroscopic and microscopic.
Section 4.2 is concerned with the wood zoning determination, due to very heterogeneity in
characteristics and properties of oil palm wood along the trunk height and depth. Hence,
it is necessary to improve its homogeneity by dening the population and distribution of
vascular bundles over the transverse section of the trunk.
Section 4.3 discusses in detail the properties of oil palm wood which is divided into three
parts, i.e. (1) Physical properties (moisture content, density and volumetric shrinkage);
(2) Mechanical properties (static bending strength (modulus of elasticity and modulus of
rupture), shear strength parallel to grain, hardness strength, compression strength parallel
to grain, tension strength parallel and perpendicular to grain, cleavage strength and nail
withdrawal resistance; and (3) Machinery properties (cross cutting, planning, shaving and
moulding, and boring).
Preface
Section 4.4 and 4.5 discuss and evaluate the bioresin reinforcement techniques and proving the proposed hypothesis and research outlook, respectively.
The last chapter concludes the all research results and ndings in this study and also describes
several recommendations concerning to the use of oil palm wood and the recommended future
research works.

Abstract
Improvement of Oil Palm Wood Properties Using Bioresin
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) becomes the most popular crop, especially in Southeast Asia,
than its origin, West Africa. World demand of two main products from this crop (e.g. crude palm
oil and palm kernel oil) increases very rapidly, due to very wide ranges use of these vegetable
oils for industrial purposes, such as fried oil, oleo-chemical and -food, cosmetics, detergent,
biofuel and etc. Indonesia and Malaysia are the main producers and supplying more than 85%
of world consumption. On the other hand, due to the economic life span of this popular crop (25
years), the producer countries have been facing a serious environmental problems concerning to
the solid biowaste handling of oil palm industry, particularly the oil palm trunk after replanting
activity. Starting 2010, it is predicted that more than 20 millions cubic meter biomass from oil
palm trunk available annually.
The common handling-method during replanting process of oil palm plantation was the pushfelled and burn to reduce the mass and volume. This method creates very signicant air pollution, therefore, the above mentioned producers immediately banned the burning method through
introducing the zero burning program. Further, the push-felled followed by burning activity has
been modied into several ways such as the push-felled and windrow; the push-felled, chip
and windrow and the under-planting method. Most of the oil palm companies currently apply
these methods. It looks quite effective method, but it was also reported that the attacks by pests
and diseases increase very rapidly to the young and mature plants around the replanting area.
The chipped palms became nests of rats and beetles and also as media for Ganoderma disease.
Therefore, converting the oil palm trunk into valuable products, such as lightweight-board,
furniture, wood-pellet, biofuel and energy become a good potential possibility to improve the
utilization of this biomaterial.
In this dissertation, the investigation was conducted to develop the utilization of oil palm wood
through the wood properties improvement, including physical, mechanical and machinery properties. Due to the heterogeneity of physical and mechanical properties of oil palm wood along
the trunk height and depth, therefore, this study was also investigated the anatomical characteristics and dening wood zoning.
Ten oil palm trees were selected randomly from the species Elaeis guineensis Jacq, variety of
Dura x Pisifera at 27 years old plantation in Indonesia. Eight of them were used for the physical, mechanical and machinery properties investigation and the remains trees for anatomical
characteristics and wood zoning determination.
The anatomical characteristics were conducted through the light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The specimen for wood zoning determination over the transverse section was
cut in the form of wood disk, which is taken from 12 different trunk heights. It was determined
on the basic of distribution and population of vascular bundles. The vascular bundles were
counted manually and the recorded data was analyzed through the mathematical and statistical
analysis.
Bioresin which is derived from pine Pinus Merkusii was used to reinforce the oil palm wood.
The experiments were designed to compare the wood properties between the untreated wood
Abstract
and the treated woods. The treated wood using heat technique was carried out under temperature
process 180 C and the impregnation time 150 and 300 seconds. Whilst, the treated wood using
chemical technique was conducted under room temperature with the impregnation time 24 and
48 hours and bioresin concentration in acetone 10 and 20%.
The wood specimens were cut from various trunk height (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 meter) and trunk depth
(inner, central and peripheral) with till 5 replications. Number of wood specimen for physical
properties (moisture, density and volumetric shrinkage) was 417 specimens. For mechanical
testing (static bending (MOE and MOR), shear parallel to grain, hardness, compression parallel
to grain, tension parallel and perpendicular to grain, cleavage and nail withdrawal resistance)
was 1554 specimens, and 78 specimens for machinery properties (cross cutting, planning, shaving and moulding, and boring).
All the testing and specimen size and shape were done referring to the ASTM and DIN Standards. The experiments were designed to compare the above mentioned wood properties of the
untreated and the treated wood.
According to the visual observation, the trunk shape of oil palm is normally circular and two
parts might be distinguished, such as the main part of the trunk and the cortex and bark. At
transverse section, the main part of the trunk was commonly darker colour in peripheral than
that the inner part and no pith was observed. In green condition, the wood colour was yellowish
but brownish in dry condition. The wood structure of oil palm was arranged in different structure in comparison with the common wood, where bre and vessel components arrange in the
form of vascular bundles system which was surrounded by parenchymatous ground tissue. One
or two large vessels were distinguished in peripheral zone and two or three vessels in central and
inner zone. The number of this component toward the central point of the trunk was decreased
signicantly, therefore, refer to this nding, it is necessary to use the oil palm wood separately
based on the trunk depth. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the bre structure in vascular bundle system was arranged similarly to the common wood, which attached each others in
very compact formation. The bre composes lumen, cell walls and pits. The bre-wall layers
at transverse sectional view were distinguishable as primary and secondary layers. Intercellular layer, like mortar brick between walls which is namely middle lamella was also observed.
Parenchyma cells were mostly in the form of spherical cell with the thin-walled and brick-like
in formation, but in narrow space or area between one vascular bundle to the others, these cells
was commonly as elongated cell and oval-cell shapes.
According to the wood zoning determination, the distribution of vascular bundles was increased
from central point of the trunk toward the bark. Three different wood zoning were dened, i.e.
inner zone (IZ), central zone (CZ) and peripheral zone (PZ). The average population of vascular
bundles at inner, central and peripheral zone were approx. 26; 46 and 97 vb/cm2 , respectively.
Furthermore, by dening the position of the above mentioned wood zoning at transverse section
based on their vascular bundle population, the position of inner, central and peripheral zone
was at radius of approx. 39 mm; 131 mm and 166 mm from the central point of the trunk,
respectively.
The physical investigation results of oil palm wood showed that the moisture content in green
condition can be reached more than 500% with the average value of about 304%. The moisture content was gradually increased from the bottom to the top of the trunk and it decreased
from central point toward the outer part of the trunk. The volumetric shrinkage was gradually
increased from the bottom to the top of the trunk and it varies between 10.3% and 22.8%.

Abstract
The wood density at inner and central zone were about 0.18 g/cm3 , ranging from 0.16 to 0.19,
and 0.20 g/cm3 , ranging from 0.17 to 0.23, respectively. Whilst, the density at peripheral zone
was higher compared to the others zone. It was about 0.40 g/cm3 , ranging from 0.37 to 0.43.
The density value was gradually increased from inner to peripheral zone, but it was slightly
decreased from the bottom to the top of the trunk. The inuence of wood zoning factor to the
wood density of oil palm was higher than the trunk height factor, hence, it is necessary to use
this material separately based on their wood zoning. Generally, it is also necessary to use the
oil palm trunk separately between up to 5 m and more than 5 m height
The mechanical properties of the untreated wood from three different zones showed signicantly different values, which correlated with changing of wood density over the transverse
section. The oil palm wood which is treated with bioresin using heat technique was resulted
a higher mechanical strength in comparison to the untreated wood and the treated wood using
chemical technique. For example, the bending strength at inner zone of the treated wood was
20% higher compared to the untreated wood.
In addition, the visual investigation also performed that the treated wood has a better wood
surface and more compact. Based on the machining tests, several surface-defects have been
observed on the oil palm wood, such as chipped grain, fuzzy grain and burl. Generally, the
machining quality of the untreated wood of oil palm was increased from poor or fair quality to
good or very good quality after treating with bioresin using heat technique.
The bioresin reinforcement experiments resulted that the proper technique of bioresin reinforcement was using heat than chemical (acetone). The optimum condition of process was achieved
at impregnation time for 150 seconds under temperature process of 180 C. The wood density
after treating with bioresin both heat and chemical techniques was generally increased more
than 70%, but the mechanical properties of treated wood was increase very signicant when
using the heat technique in comparison with the untreated wood.

Kurzfassung
Verbesserung der Eigenschaften des lpalmenholzes
durch Einsatz von Naturharz
Einleitung und Zielsetzung

Die aus Westafrika stammende lpalme (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) ist zur populrsten Kulturpanze in Sdostasien geworden. Als Haupterzeugnisse dieser Panze gelten die le der Frchte
und der Fruchtkerne. Die weltweite Nachfrage nach diesen beiden Haupterzeugnissen nimmt
sehr rasch zu. Ursache hierfr ist die breite Anwendungspalette dieser Panzenle, wie z.B.
Bratl, lbasierte Chemikalien und lbasierte Nahrungsmittel, Kosmetika, Waschmittel, Biobrennstoff usw. Indonesien und Malaysia sind die Hauptproduzenten und Hauptlieferanten
solcher Produkte und decken ber 85% des weltweiten Bedarfs. Mit Extensivierung der lpalmplantagen sehen sich die Erzeugerlnder zunehmend mit ernstzunehmenden Umweltprobleme konfrontiert, da nach Erreichen der wirtschaftlichen Lebenspanne (Umtriebszeit) von 25
Jahren groe Mengen an festen, biologischen Abfallstoffe bei der Neubegrndung der Bestnde
anfallen. So sollen z.B. im Jahre 2010 laut Vorhersagen mehr als 20 Mill. Kubikmeter lpalmenHolz jhrlich anfallen.
Bisher wurde bei der Neupanzungen von lpalmenplantagen alle alten Palmen mit Baggern umgedrckt und verbrannt (push-felled and burn). Da dieses Verfahren zu erheblichen
Luftverschmutzungen fhrt, wurde das Verbrennung verboten (zero burning). Heutzutage wird
eine mehrfach modizierte Methode angewandt, bei der die umgezogenen Palmenstmme auf
Wllen zusammengeschoben werden (push-felled and windrow). Die Zieh-Fllung mit anschlieender Hackschnitzelherstellung und das Ablegen derselben in Wllen (push-felled, chip
and windrow) sowie das Unterbau-Panzverfahren (under-planting) sind weitere Methoden
der Bestandesneubegrndung. Zunchst schienen diese Verfahren sehr effektiv zu sein. Immer huger wurde aber Probleme durch einen Befall mit Schaderregern und Pilz-Krankheiten
an jungen und alten lpalmen im Bereich der Nachpanzche berichtet, die schnell zunahmen. In den Hackschitzelhaufen aus lpalmholz bauten Ratten ihre Nester, Kfer siedelten sich in den Stmmen an. Das verrottende Holz war auch ein guter Nhrboden fr die
Ganoderma-Krankheit. Deshalb wird aktuell darber nachgedacht, das Holz der lpalmenstmme zu speziellen Produkten zu verarbeiten, wie z.B. leichte Bauplatten, Mbelholz oder
Pellets, um die groen Holzmengen so einer sinnvollen Nutzung zuzufhren.
Die in der vorliegenden Dissertation beschriebenen Untersuchen der Nutzungsmglichkeiten
des lpalmholzes gelten der Verbesserung der Holzeigenschaften, insbesondere der Verbesserung der physikalischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften sowie des Verhaltens in Bezug auf die
maschinelle Be- und Verarbeitung des lpalmholzes.
Material und Methoden
Zehn lpalmen der Spezies Elaeis guineensis Jacq, Variett Dura x Pisifera, wurden nach dem
Zufallsprinzip auf einer 27jhrigen Plantage auf der Insel Sumatra ausgewhlt. Acht dieser
Bume wurden zur Bestimmung der physikalischen, elastomechanischen und maschinellen
Kurzfassung
Bearbeitungs-Eigenschaften herangezogen. Die restlichen beiden Exemplare dienten der Bestimmung holzanatomischer Merkmale. Wegen der ausgeprgten Inhomogenitt des lpalmholzes ber dem Stammquerschnitt und in Stammlngsrichtung konzentrierten sich die anatomischen Untersuchungen auf die Bestimmung wichtiger, ausgewhlter anatomischen Holzeigenschaften einschlielich der Festlegung von 3 unterschiedlichen, anatomisch denierten Zonen
ber dem Stammquerschnitt.
Zur Holzzonen-Bestimmung ber der Querschnittsche wurden Stammscheiben aus 12 verschiedenen Stammhhen geschnitten. Die Holzzonen-Bestimmung des lpalmenstammes erfolgte auf der Basis der Verteilung und Hugkeit der Vaskularleitbndel. Die Vaskularbndel
wurden manuell gezhlt und durch mathematische und statistische Analysen 3 Grenzbereiche
bestimmt. Ausgewhlte anatomische Holzeigenschaften wurden anhand von Lichtmikroskopie
und Elektronenrastermikroskopie charakterisiert.
Von der in Indonesien beheimateten Kieferart Pinus merkusii gewonnenes Harz wurde zur Stabilisierung des lpalmenholzes genutzt. Die Imprgnierung wurde einerseits durch Erhitzen
des Harzes auf eine Temperatur von 180 C und Eintauchen des Holzes ber eine Zeitspanne
von 150 und 300 Sekunden durchgefhrt; andererseits erfolgte das Einbringen des Harzes durch
Lsung in Aceton (10 - 20%ige Lsung) und Trnkung des Holzes bei Raumtemperatur und
einer Imprgnierzeit von 24 und 48 Stunden.
Die Probennahme fr die physikalisch/elastomechanischen Untersuchungen erfolgten in unterschiedlichen Stammhhen (1, 3, 5, 7 und 9 Meter) sowie Stammtiefen (innere, mittlere und
periphere Lage ber den Stammquerschnitt), bei bis zu 5 Wiederholungen. Zur Beurteilung der
physikalischen Eigenschaften (Feuchtigkeit, Rohdichte und Quell-/Schwingverhalten) dienten
417 Probekrper. Fr die elastomechanischen Prfungen (Druckfestigkeit parallel zur Faser,
Biegefestigkeit und Biege-Elastizittsmodul, Zugfestigkeit parallel und rechtwinklig zur Faser,
Scherfestigkeit, Spaltfestigkeit, Hrte und Nagelauszugwiderstand) kamen 1554 Proben zur Anwendung. Das Verhalten des Holzes bei der Bearbeitung (Querschneiden, Hobeln, Frsen und
Bohren) wurde anhand von 78 Probekrpern visuell beurteilt.
Alle Probenausformungen und Prfungen der Proben erfolgten gem ASTM- und DIN-Standards. Die physikalischen und elastomechanischen Versuche wurden vergleichend an unbehandeltem und harzgetrnktem lpalmholz durchgefhrt.
Ergebnisse
Anatomische Charakterisierung
Die Stammquerschnitte der lpalme sind in der Regel kreisrund. Der eigentliche Holzkrper
wird von einer verhltnismig dnnen Rindenschicht (cortex and bark) umgeben. Im grnen
Zustand war die Holzfarbe gelblich, im trockenen jedoch brunlich. Der uere (periphere)
Teil der Stammquerschnittsche erscheint generell dunkler als die tiefer gelegenen, inneren
Holzbereiche. Holzstrahlen fehlen vllig. Faser- und Gefkomponenten bilden ein System aus
Vaskularleitbndeln (vascular bundles system), welches von parenchymatischem Grundgewebe
umgeben ist. In der uersten (peripheren) Stammquerschnittszone nden sich in den Leitbndeln nur 1 bis 2 groe Gefe, whrend in den beiden inneren Zonen 2 bis 3 Gefe im Leitbndel vorhanden sind. Rasterelektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen zeigten, dass die Faseranordnung im Gefbndelsystem des Palmenholzes der herkmmlicher Hlzer hnlich ist. Die
Faser besteht aus Lumen, Zellwnden und Tpfeln. Die Faserwandschichten lassen sich im
Querschnitt in primre und sekundre Schichten unterscheiden. Eine Interzellulrschicht, wie

Kurzfassung
Ziegelmrtel zwischen den Wnden gelegen, welche die Mittellamelle darstellt, wurde ebenfalls
beobachtet. Parenchymzellen waren meist als dnnwandige Zellen in runder und ziegelartiger
Form zu beobachten, aber an sehr engen Stellen oder im Bereich zwischen zwei Vaskularbndeln traten diese Zellen im Allgemeinen in lnglicher oder ovaler Form in Erscheinung.
Bei der Holzzonen-Bestimmung zeigte sich, dass die Verteilung der Vaskularbndel vom Mittelpunkt des Stammes zum Kortex hin zunahm. Es wurden drei verschiedene Holzzonen deniert, d.h. die innere Zone (IZ), mittlere Zone (CZ) und die periphere Zone (PZ) anhand der
durchschnittlichen Hugkeit (26, 46 bzw. 97 V askularbndel/cm2 ) der Leitbndel signikant
voneinander abgegrenzt. In absoluten Lngen ausgedrckt, wies der innere Teil des Stammradius eine mittlere Lnge von 39 mm auf, der mittlere Teil betrug 131 mm und der uere
(periphere) Teil 166 mm.
Physikalisch und Elastomechanische Untersuchungen
Die Ergebnisse der physikalischen Untersuchung des lpalmenholzes zeigten, dass die darrdichtebezogene Holzfeuchte im grnen Zustand ber 500% erreichen kann (Durchschnittswert
von ca. 304%). Die natrliche Holzfeuchte nahm mit zunehmender Hhe im Stamm und ber
dem Stammquerschnitt von innen nach auen kontinuierlich ab. Die Volumenschwindung nahm
allmhlich vom unteren zum oberen Stammteil ab und lag zwischen 10,3% und 22,8%.
Die mittleren Rohdichten des Holzes in der inneren und mittleren Stammquerschnittszone lagen bei etwa 0,18 g/cm3 (0,16 - 0,20 g/cm3 ) und bei 0,20 g/cm3 (0.17 - 0.23 g/cm3 ), whrend
die Dichte in der peripheren Zone im Vergleich zu den anderen Zonen mit durchschnittlich
0,40 g/cm3 (0,37 - 0,43 g/cm3 ) deutlich hher ausel. Der Dichtewert erhhte sich allmhlich von der inneren zur peripheren Zone, verringerte sich aber leicht vom unteren zum oberen
Stammteil. Die Probennahme ber dem Stammquerschnitt hatte dabei einen greren Einu
auf die Rohdichte als die Entnahme ber die Stammhhe. Dennoch ist es bei einer stofichen
Nutzung des lpalmholzes erforderlich, nicht nur die Rohdichteunterschiede ber dem Stammquerschnitt zu beachten. Die Befunde zeigten, dass es generell erforderlich ist, den lpalmenstamm bis zu einer Hhe von 5 m und ab einer Hhe von 5 m getrennt zu verwenden.
Die elastomechanischen Eigenschaften des unbehandelten lpalmholzes wiesen fr die 3 unterschiedlichen Stammquerschnittszonen ebenfalls signikant unterschiedliche Werte auf, die gut
mit der vernderten Rohdichte korrelierten. Das mit heiem Kiefernharz behandelte lpalmenholz zeigte hhere elastomechanische Festigkeiten sowohl im Vergleich zum unbehandelten
Holz, als auch im Vergleich zur Behandlung mit dem Aceton-Harzgemisch. So wurde zum Bespiel die Biegefestigkeit in der inneren Zone um 20% im Vergleich zum unbehandeltem Holz
erhht werden.
Eine visuelle berprfung des harzgetrnkten lpalmholzes auf Qualittskriterien bei der mechanischen Bearbeitung zeigte, dass das behandelte Holz bei allen Bearbeitungsschritten bessere
Holzoberche besa und kompakter war. Hinsichtlich der maschinellen Bearbeitung wurden Faserausrisse, wollige Oberchen und Unebenheiten am unbehandelten lpalmenholz
beobachtet. Generell konnte die Bearbeitungsqualitt des unbehandelten lpalmenholzes von
schlecht oder mittelmig durch die Imprgnierung mit heiem Kiefernharz auf gut bis sehr gut
gesteigert werden.

1 Introduction
Elaeis guineensis Jacq or oil palm, as it is commonly known, originated from the tropical rain
forest of West Africa. The great expansion of this crop has increased very rapid during the
last two decade in many parts of the world, such as Africa, the Pacic Islands, South America,
and especially in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia and Malaysia as main producers. In 2006,
Oil world [76] reported that both countries contributed more than 85% of the total 33.7 million tons of world production. Further, Colchester et al. [26] stated that South East Asia has
proven attractive to oil palm developers for a number of reasons, including the favorable climate,
comparatively low labour costs, low land rents and concerted government plans to develop the
sector, through provision of attractive (or unenforced) legal frameworks, cheap loans and scal
incentives.
The oil palm which is mainly grown for its oil production and its economic life spans is about
25 years. There are two main oil products which can be obtained from its fruit i.e. crude palm
oil (CPO) and palm kernel oil (PKO). These palm oils are used in a great variety of products,
both edible and non-edible products. Palm oil is being one of the main sources of cooking oil,
shortening, ice creams and margarine, as well as being used in non-edible products such as
detergents, soaps, shampoos, lipsticks, creams, waxes, candles and polishes. In advance, it is
used as a lubricant in industrial processes and also yields olein used in chemical processes to
produce esters, plastics, textiles, emulsiers, explosives and pharmaceutical products [35].
The oil palm was rst introduced to Indonesia in 1848. The pioneer of palm seedlings from
Africa which brought by Dutch Botanist were planted in the Botanic Gardens at Buitenzorg,
now Bogor, in West Java. Since the rst commercial plantation established in Sumatra in 1911
by a Belgian Adrien Hallet and together with establishment of 2,000 palms by a German, K.
Schadt, and in 1940, about 110 hectares plantation was reached [53], and currently the oil palm
plantation in Indonesia is expanding very rapid, reaching 2.9 million hectares by 1997 [35], and
more than 5 million hectares of productive oil palms by 2006 [76]. Parallel to the expansion of
plantation, the CPO production is experiencing a rm of increase from 900,000 tons (1983) [1]
to 14 million tons (2005) [76].
In line with the development of CPO production, the oil palm industry also produces bio-waste
(by-product) in two forms. Namely waste from mill and waste from plantation. The waste from
mill consist of shell, empty fruit bunch (EFB), pressed fruit bres (PFF), palm oil mill efuent
(POME), whilst the other wastes from the plantation comprises of oil palm fronds (OPF) and
oil palm trunks (OPT) during replanting after achieving its economic life spans [35]. Since the
last decade, the producers of oil palm, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia have been facing
a serious task concerning the utilization of oil palm solid wastes (OPSW) both from the mill
and plantation, particularly EFB and OPT. The amount of EFB produced by the oil palm mill
(OPM) is almost equal to the CPO yield (20-24%). Therefore in 2005, from about 200 oil
palm companies in Indonesia produce not less than 6 million tons EFB. Several methods have
technically and commercially developed for utilizing this material, such as EFB Seedling-pot
[37], EFB compost [51] [55] and EFB insulation [36]. Pulp and paper productions from EFB
has also introduced as well as panel based products [49] [50] [38] [39].

Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1. Scientic Background
According to the projections of Indonesian Government program dealing with the oil palm
industry, starting 2010, there were at least 100,000 hectares of oil plantation should be annually
replanted [81]. If there were about 128 trees remained per hectare after reaching its life spans
with the average volume per tree approx. 1.638 m3 , therefore more than 20 million m3 biomass
from OPT available annually. This is a spectacular amount of natural solid waste which is
potentially good for biomass resources, such as bre, cellulose as well as raw material for
substituting wood material from natural forest. Unfortunately, the scientic information and
knowledge know-how of OPT is still limited as well as its utilization.
Yet, compared to the various intensive researches and the economically important of the oil
palm, both processing technology and diversication of palm oil based products mainly from
CPO and PKO, the oil palm solid waste, particularly the OPT, has received relatively little research attention. This might be due to lack or insufcient the scientic information and KnowHow of this material and might also be due to the difculties of working and using with the
OPT. Although several investigations have already conducted in the eld of OPT uses, but a sufcient knowledge shall be achieved in order to design and establish the new tailor-made wood
products based on oil palm wood1 , or OPW. Hence, this study was directed to focus the characteristics of OPW including anatomical, physical, mechanical and machinery properties, and
in order to use this material for structural purposes, the wood properties of OPW were improved
and reinforced with bioresin through the development of wood modication techniques.
1.1 Scientic Background

As a monocotyledons species, the oil palm does not have cambium, secondary growth, growth
rings, ray cells, sapwood, heartwood, branches and knots. Choon et al. [21] stated that the
growth and increase in diameter of the trunk result from the overall cell division and cell enlargement in the parenchymatous ground tissues, together with the enlargement of the bres of
the vascular bundles. Choon and Choon [23] also mentioned that the vascular bundles increase
from the butt end to the top of the palm and with regards to physical properties, there is great
variation of density values at different parts of the trunk. Bakar et al. [10] further stated that the
moisture content (MC) at the butt end is higher than the other parts and it is indicated slightly
decrease from the butt end to the top. Further, the density values decrease from the outer to
the center parts, but it is not clearly relation between trunk height and density values along the
trunk. Whilst, Killmann and Choon [65] mentioned that a gradual increase in MC is indicated
along the trunk height from the butt end to the top and the density decreases linearly with trunk
height and toward the center of the trunk. The above results showed different trends both MC
and density values and it shows contrarily each others.
Relating to the mechanical properties, the above physical conditions inuenced to the strength
properties of the trunk. Choon et al. [21] further reported that bending strength, compression
strength parallel to grain and hardness of the trunk is generally poor compares to other timber
species including rubberwood as well as coconut wood. In addition Ratanawilai et al. [86]
stated that the mechanical properties of oil palm trunk were approximately two times lower
than those of teak and rubberwood.

Wood here is primary tissue and is not comparable in developmental term to the wood of dicotyledons and
gymnosperms, because palms do not possess cambium
1.2. Problem Setting
Concerning to processing and preserving of the OPW, several investigations have already conducted by Ho et al. [56] and Haslett [54], including sawing, machining, seasoning and preservation. Regarding the machining aspect, Ho et al. [56]. further described that the lumber does
not have good machining properties. The main defect of oil palm lumber are cupping, twisting,
collapse and checks (splits) between vascular bundles and parenchymatous tissues. It is also
slightly difcult to very difcult to work with, depending on the machining process used and
gives very rough machined surfaces. On the seasoning, the lumber was found to suffer from
various drying defects and during the preservation of OPW, this material is also very susceptible to fungal and insect attacks due to the high sugar and starch contents. Several preservatives
have already tried but the results not as effective as on other susceptible timbers.
Facing the above mentioned difculties working and utilizing OPW due to non-consistency
response of wood properties, particularly physical features that cause of unstress mechanical
properties, therefore this study was precisely carried out to characterize the OPW from certain
age and variety of the palm, which can be used a basic information for developing a new-concept
of oil palm wood technology for this species. Parallel to this, the study also concentrated to
modied this wood with bioresin reinforcement techniques.
1.2 Problem Setting

Solving Through Replanting Methods
As one of renewable materials, oil palm wood is not only available in a large amount, but also
still poses a serious environmental problem. The problem is turn-up since the mature plants
reach their economic life span after 25 years, follows by replanting program. Three methods of
replanting has already been adopted by oil palm company in Indonesia and Malaysia, such as
push-felled, chip and burn, push-felled, chip and windrow, and under-planting methods. The
most common method for replanting of oil palm in the above mentioned countries was the pushfelled and burn method to reduce the mass and volume. Push-felled process was done by the
excavator or other heavy vehicle. Since the zero burning program was introduced in the 90s,
this method immediately banned, because it was signicantly creating the air pollution. Figure
1.1 showed the push-felled and burn method of oil palm replanting.
Further, the push-felled methods followed by burning process was modied into the new method
called push-felled and windrow as shows in Figure 1.2. In order to increase the decomposition and degradation process by natural decomposer, after pushing and felling, the palms were
chipped previously into pieces. The chipped of the palms were not burnt but then windrowed,
usually two palm rows to on windrow, and left them to decompose in the palm inter-rows, then
this method namely push-felled, chip and windrow. Most of the oil palm companies, either
public or private, currently applies this method. It looks quite effective method, but it was also
reported that the attacks by pests and diseases increase very rapidly to the young and mature
plants around the replanting area. The chipped palms became nests of rat and beetle and also as
media for Ganoderma disease.
The other zero burning technique of replanting program was the under-planting method, where
the young palms were planted under the old palms, which were gradually poisoned. This
method is illustrated in Figure 5.2.2. Unfortunately, the poisoned palms took more than two
years to decompose completely and this resulted in very high breeding of Oryctes rhinoceros
beetles, which has become the most serious pest in immature and young mature palms.

A case study about the crop damage by this beetles attacks reported by Liau and Ahmad [71]
and Chung et al. [24] that beetle damage could cause crop losses of 40% and 92%, respectively,
in the rst year of harvesting in Malaysia. Further, apart from O. rhinoceros, the palm biomass
could also become the source of rats and Ganoderma boninense disease problems, like a side
effect of previous method.
Summarized from the above mentioned methods concerning the replanting of oil palm, it is
exactly still necessary to improve the technique of replanting program or looking for another
possibility to improve the utilization of oil palm trunk. Alternatively, converting the oil palm
trunk into others valuable products, such as bre based products, panel based products, source
of energy and also use for construction purposes. Relating to these efforts, several investigations
have already conducted both in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Fig. 1.3: Under-planting method of the oil palm replanting
Producing Valuable Products

Producing valuable products from OPW such as particleboard, cement-bonded particleboard,
gypsum-bonded particleboard, blockboard, and MDF have already been investigated. The major problems faced in manufacturing panel products were at material preparation. Teck and Ong
[91] reported that processing of oil palm trunk by conventional method into particles is not feasible as clusters of brous strands produced by the trunk become entangled with the knives and
blade of the aker and causing the whole operation to stop. Instead, the trunk is rst processed
to chips. Further, Sudin, et al. [90]. faced a problem in producing cement-bonded particleboard from OPW. The retarding of cement-setting caused by the inherent high sugar and starch
contents of the material.
Producing bre based products from OPW, such as pulp and papers were technically accepted
by selecting the special treatment and pulping process due to the uctuation of pulp yield and
quality consider to active alkali required. Choon and Wan [22] reported that the sufcient active
alkali was not more that 14% to produce pulp of average yield and strengths using chemical
sulphate process.
Another possibility to use the OPW as source of energy has also conducted, like converting
OPT into charcoal which investigated by Lim and Lim [72]. But, it has concluded that OPT are
not suitable for the production of charcoal fuel, due to the low caloric value and high content of
the ash resulted from OPW charcoal.
An alternative for Structural Purposes
Several efforts to utilize the OPW has also tried. Killmann [64] has conducted a preliminary oil
palm stem densication using ammonia treatment, but further test series still require in order to
assess the potential of this process for economic use of oil palm stems and some aspects have
to be claried due to the seasoning defects, fungal attack and reduction of the use of ammonia.
Jumaat et al. [62] investigated the utilization of the OPW as trussed rafters. It is indicated that
certain portion of the trunks had good potential to be used as structural components. Further,
they concluded the result that the OPW has potential to be exploited for use as roof trusses with
some modications and proper grading of the trunk.
1.3. Research Objectives
Concerning improvement of oil palm wood quality, Bakar et al. [8] impregnated this material
with phenol formaldehyde (PF), but they stated that although the impregnation gave 19% weight
percent gain (WPG), but physical and mechanical properties were almost unchanged, indicating
that the treatment with PF could not improve the quality, and thus need other method to nd.
Addressing the research objectives
According to the advantage and disadvantage of oil palm wood described above, actually several
process modications and handling procedures, however, had to be made in order to counter the
poor processing and working characteristics of this material. In order to solve or eliminate the
difculties of oil palm wood in processing stage into producing valuable products, it is necessary to understood clearly about the characteristics of this oil palm bio-waste, both anatomical
features, physical and mechanical behaviour. On the other hand, due to the great variation
of density along the trunk height and toward the central point which resulted non-consistence
wood features, it has to be graded on the basic of natural characters of oil palm. Therefore, separation of the trunk into several parts based on the distribution of vascular bundles at transverse
section is an essential experiment which has to be conducted previously to get more homogeneous material for further processing. According to this reason, the study was also gathered the
determination of oil palm wood zoning. Concerning to the improvement the use of OPW for
structural purposes, the study was further concentrated to modied the wood through the reinforcement treatment using bioresin. The complete aims of this study were presented in Section
1.3.
1.3 Research Objectives

Consider to the challenges of the oil palm industry development in the world, nevertheless, the
utilization of oil palm trunk as one of solid bio-wastes of this popular crop is highly necessarily. The investigation shall be addressed in order to reduce the negative impacts and perhaps
converting into valuable products based on the oil palm wood. This can lead to a sustainable
oil palm in the future. The overall aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of oil
palm wood and reinforced this material through the wood modication process. In this task,
bioresin is used as ller and binding agent to improve the physical, mechanical and machinery
properties of the wood. Two reinforcement techniques were applied to reinforce and modify the
oil palm wood.
The detail objectives expected to be achieved at the end of this research work, are spelt out as
follows:
1. Investigation the anatomy of oil palm wood, including macroscopic and microscopic
structures,
2. Determination of wood zoning at transverse section of the oil palm trunk,
3. Bioresin reinforcement of oil palm wood using heat and chemical techniques,
4. Investigation the wood properties, including physical, mechanical and machinery, and in
comparison to the untreated wood of oil palm.
1.4. Research Hypothesis
1.4 Research Hypothesis

Due to the advantages and disadvantages of oil palm wood utilization, this study was carried out
to improve the physical, mechanical and machinery properties of oil palm wood by applying the
bioresin reinforcement using both heat and chemical techniques was investigated through the
laboratory and eld experiments. To examined the obtained results, the following hypothesists
were proven.
Concerning the experimental factors affecting the physical, mechanical and machinery properties of oil palm wood:
H0: the wood zoning and trunk height factors have insignicant effect in affecting the physical,
mechanical and machinery properties of oil palm wood.
H1: the wood zoning and trunk height factors have signicant effect in affecting the physical,
mechanical and machinery properties of oil palm wood. Therefore, the wood should be used
separately by considering to these factors.
Regarding Bioresin Reinforcement:
H0: the treated oil palm woods using bioresin have equal physical, mechanical and machinery
properties in comparison with the untreated wood.
H1: the treated oil palm woods using bioresin have signicant different in physical, mechanical
and machinery properties compared to the untreated wood. Thus, the bioresin reinforcement
able to improve the quality of oil palm wood.
The impregnation time and bioresin concentration factors were also examined complementary,
to support the above mentioned scientic hypotheses. Whilst, the anatomical investigation of
oil palm wood, both macroscopic and microscopic were also studied in detail to provide the
sufcient scientic knowledge with regards to improve the utilization of this biomaterial.
2 Review of Related Literatures

This chapter contains the reviewed of related literatures, which is divided into two parts, i.e.
general reviews and related research reviews. In general reviews, the several subjects were
discussed and explained systematically starting from the forest and wood trends in Indonesia
followed by development of oil palm industry as an impact of ban log export that is introduced
in 1985. Further, the author reviewed more detail about the oil palm, including botanical description and distribution of this popular crop.
2.1 General Reviews

There are four aspects described in this general reviews including (1) Forest and wood trends
in Indonesia; (2) the policy regarding the oil palm industry in Indonesia; (3) development of oil
palm in Indonesia; (4) Bioresin and its availability.
2.1.1 Forest and Wood Trends in Indonesia

The major forest types in Indonesia range from evergreen lowland dipterocarp forests in Sumatra and Kalimantan to seasonal monsoon forest and savannah grasslands in Nusa Tenggara and
non-dipterocarp lowland forest and alpine areas in Irian Jaya. Indonesia also contains the most
extensive mangrove forests in the world, estimated 4.25 million hectares in the early 1990s [47].
According to the aggregate of Consensus of Forest Land Use in 2000 stated that forestland
in Indonesia covers 112.5 million hectares, comprising 20.6 million hectares of conservation
forest, 29.9 million hectares of protected forest, 26.1 million hectares of restricted production
forest, 32.2 million hectares of production forest, and 3.6 million hectares of convertible production forest [63].
Indonesia is a signicant producer of tropical hardwood logs and sawn wood, plywood and
other boards, and pulp for papermaking. More than half the countrys forest, some 54 million
hectares are allocated for timber production (although not all are being actively log), and a
further 2 million hectares of industrial wood plantation have been established, supplying mostly
pulpwood [47]. In 1997, the forest and wood processing sectors accounted for 3.9% of Gross
Domestic Product (GDP), and export plywood, pulp and paper were valued at USD 5.5 billions.
This amount was nearly half the value of oil and gas export, and equal to nearly 10% of total
export earning.
The wood processing industries in Indonesia now require about 80 million m3 of wood annually
to feed sawmills, plywood manufacturing plants, pulp mills and papermaking plants. This
quantity of wood is far more than can be produced legally from the countrys forest and timber
plantations. As a result, more than half countrys wood supply is obtained from illegal logging
[47].

2.1. General Reviews
2.1.2 Government Policy Regarding Oil Palm Industry in Indonesia

The Ministry of Forestry (MoF) derives the programmes on the basis of some items of legislation. Several legislation relevant to forestry development are Act No. 5 of 1967 - the basic
forestry law; Act No. 4 of 1982 - the basic environmental management law; and Act No. 5
of 1990 - the conservation of natural living resource and their ecosystem. Under the Act No.
5 of 1967, the Government of Indonesia (GoI) through the MoF holds authority to control,
manage and administer the forest resource. This law basically determined that forest resource
development be directed to: (a) water regulation, (b) ood and erosion prevention, (c) wood
and non-wood production, and (d) source of income. The Act also covered the sustained yield
principle and the rights of present and future generations to access to and hence benet from
the forest [42].
According to the chronology of Indonesian forest policy records, between 1945 and 1992, the
development of forest policy have been divided into three important eras, i.e. timber boom era
(1967 - 1985), timber estate era (1985 - 1990), plantation crops era (1990 - present) [2]. The
complete chronology of forest policy period 1945 - 1992 in Indonesia is presented in Appendix
A.
The timber estates development objectives were to provide wood for the pulp and paper industry. Indonesia plantations are increasing in this direction and it became a potential income
contributor to the national economy. Major Indonesian plantation crops include tree and nontree crops such as oil palm, coconut, rubber, coffee, and cloves, as well as sugarcane and tobacco
respectively. The demand for both palm oil and rubber has been growing. The United States
of America imported over $900 million worth of rubber and latex from Indonesia in 1996, representing more than twice as much as timber, and nearly twice as much from just four years
earlier. Sugarcane and tobacco are also largely grown in Java and Sumatra areas; other plantations are in the outer islands [34]. Oil palm plantation is one of the fastest growing crops in
the agriculture sub-sector in Indonesia. This has a great economical contribution to Malaysia
has about 3.37 million ha oil palm (44% of the world total). Indonesias production fell behind
Malaysia after World War II due to political unrest. Expansion of oil palm plantations took off
during the 1980s and 1990s. Currently Indonesia has about more than 3 million ha mature area,
representing (more than 34% of the world total), but on current trends it is expected to overtake
Malaysia during the coming decade [84]. The oil palm plantation has been increasing more
than 100,000 hectares per year since 1985. The planted area is mainly located in Sumatra [81].
The prolic growth of the oil palm sub-sector has conferred important economic benets. This
is because palm oil has become a valuable source of foreign exchange. In 1997, 2.9 million
tones of palm oil were exported bringing in earnings valued at 1.4 billion USD. This was 31%
of Indonesias agricultural exports and 3.5% of Indonesias total non-oil and gas exports. The
main destinations of the Indonesian exports were Holland (44%), Germany (12%), Italy (9%),
Spain (5%) and Kenya (3%) [19]. It is projected that in 2005 Indonesia would become the
world leader of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) production. The CPO production has increased from
168 thousand tones (1967) to about 6 million tones in 2002 [34].
In line with the Indonesia government program of developing the oil palm industry as one of the
important sectors for income generation, the oil palm industry should be well managed based
on economic, social and environmental performance. The development is not only to increase
the production and quality of CPO, PKO and other derived products, but also the management
and the utilization of oil palm waste for producing valuable products must be balanced.

2.1.3 Development of Oil Palm In Indonesia

Early slave trade brought the oil palm to South America and Europe, but the industry really
began in South-east Asia, following the establishment of the large oil palm plantation and palm
oil mill in Indonesia and Malaysia. The industry gained considerable importance and expanded
tremendously after the Second World War due to increasing world demand and relatively stability in the worlds fats and oil prices [84].
The development of oil palm in South East Asia is currently faster than Africa as the origin
of oil palm. Development of mature area of oil palm plantation in Indonesia and Malaysia,
as main producers is increasing very rapid. In the early years of oil palm establishment in
Indonesia, the development of oil palm industry was initially slow, with greater emphasis being
place on the cultivation of rubber and wood as the major export. The situation changed in
the middle of 1985s, following the introduction of synthetic rubber and log ban export by the
government [33]. Alarmed by this, the oil palm industry developed very rapidly. As a result,
Pamin [81] stated that new lands were opened up for oil palm plantation more than 100,000
hectares per year since the log ban in effect. Granted with more than 18 million hectare suitable
for oil palm, Indonesia has carefully expanded its oil palm plantation. The expansion is mostly
accomplished in ex-logging industries and it has been able to convert bare land to a green
plantation environment. Nowadays, the beauty of oil palm is still seen as a large green carpet
covering almost 3 million hectares in many parts of Indonesia.
The mature area of oil palm plantation within 5 years (period 2000 to 2005) was increased about
67% in Indonesia and 22% in Malaysia as shown in Figure 2.1 and with the annual rates of estate
expansion in these countries are about 296.4 and 129.4 hectare per annum, respectively. Hence,
the expansion rate of this crop-area in Indonesia is 1.3 times faster than Malaysia.
In comparison with other crop (e.g. rubber plantation), the development of oil palm plantation
and its main products production were also faster than rubber estate expansion and dry-rubber
production, as shown in Table 2.1. From this table, CPO and PKO productions in 2006 were
about 10.9 and 2.3 million tons, whilst the dry-rubber production was only 0.45 million tons,
respectively [16] [17].

2.1.3.1 Botanical Description of Oil Palm

According to the Integrated Taxonomy Information System [61], the oil palm taxonomy is
presented below:
Kingdow: Plantae
Sub-Kingdom: Tracheobionta
Division: Angiospermae
Class: Monocotyledons
Sub-Class: Arecidae
Order: Arecales
Family: Arecaceae
Genus: Elaeis
Species: Elaeis guineensis Jacq
Common name: African Oil Palm
The oil palm is a large feather palm having a solitary columnar stem with short internodes. It
is unarmed except for short spines on the leaf base and within the fruit bunch. Husin et al.
[58] stated that in high forest, oil palm might reach a height of 30 m, but elsewhere the reach
not more than 15 to 18 m. It is believed that many palms may be 200 years old or more, but
concerning fruit production, the economic life span of oil palm is between 25 and 30 years. So,
after which the oil palm should be replanted. At the replanting age, the oil palm has a height
that ranges between 7 and 13 m and diameter of about 45 to 65 cm, measured at 1.5 m above
ground level. The oil palm fruit is a drupe, the outer pulp of which provides the palm oil for
commerce. Within the pulp or mesocarp lies a hard-shelled nut containing the palm kernel, later
to provide two further commercial products, i.e. palm kernel oil (rather similar in composition
to coconut oil), the residual livestock food and palm kernel cake [53].
The rate of extension of the stem is very variable and depends on both environmental and
hereditary factors. Under normal plantation condition, the average increase in height will be
from 0.3 to 0.6 m per year, width of the stem varies from 20 to 75 cm, erect, heavy, and trunks
ringed. The stem functions as a supporting, vascular and storage organ. The number of leaves
produces annually by a plantation palm increases to between thirty and forty at 5 to 6 years of
age. Thereafter the production declines to a level of twenty to twenty-ve per annum [53].
Naibaho [79] stated that the oil palm fruit grows in large bunch with the weight of 20 to 70 kg
and each fruit bunch is containing 500-4000 individual fruits. The fruit bunch may reach 50 cm
in length and 35 cm in breadth. The bunch consists of outer and inner fruit, the latter somewhat
attened and less pigmented; a few so-called parthenocarpic fruit that have developed even
through fertilization has not taken place; some small-undeveloped non-oil-bearing infertile
fruit; and the bunch and spikelet stalks and spines.
The climate features of the main areas of highest bunch production summarized as follows:
a rainfall of 2000 mm or more distributed evenly through the year, i.e. no very marked
dry seasons,
a mean maximum temperature of about 29 30 C and a mean minimum temperature of
about 22 24 C
13
sunshine amounting to about 5 hours per day in all months of the year and rising to 7
hours per day in some months, or solar radiation of around 350 cal per cm2 per day [53].
2.1.3.2 Distribution of Oil Palm
Elaeis guineensis Jacq originated from the tropical rain forests of West Africa. It is endemic to
a wide coastal belt stretching from Senegal to Angola, extending further along the Congo River
[77]. Hartley [53] reported that the growing of oil palm plantation started in the Far East and
strangely, there were no direct connection between the African groves and the establishment of
this new industry. The earliest record of the introduction of oil palms to the East Indies was
of four seedlings, two from Bourbon (Reunion) or Mauritius, and two from Amsterdam, which
were planted in the Botanic Gardens at Buitenzorg, now Bogor, in Java in 1848. At the present
time, the oil palm exists in a wild, semi wild and cultivated state in the three land areas of the
equatorial tropics: in Africa, in South-east Asia and in America. Of all oil bearing plants it is the
highest yielding, even the poorer plantations of Africa out-yielding the best elds of coconuts,
a crop that the oil palm has overtaken in the export eld.
2.1.3.3 Oil Palm Industry and Its Products
For serving the oil palm plantation, more than 200 palm oil mills have already been established
in Indonesia until the end of 2001 and 86% of them were located in Sumatra. Most of them are
working on the capacity of 30 tones fresh fruit bunches (FFB) per hour and some of them work
on the capacity between 45 and 60 tones FFB per hour [38]. The establishment of palm oil mill
is presented in Table 2.2.

Herawan et al. [55] stated that due to the commercial importance of oil palm, the botanical,
cultivation and technological aspects of the oil palm have been investigated intensively in Indonesia. Lubis et al. [74] stated that all parts of oil palm tree could be used. From the fruit,
crude palm oil and palm kernel oil are extracted. From these oils, many edible and non-edible
products are derived.
Crude palm oil is extracted from the eshy mesocarp of the fruit which contains 45-55% oil
which varies from light yellow to orange-red in colour, and melts from 25 to 50 C. Palm kernel
oil is extracted from the kernel of endosperm, and contains about 50% oil. Similar to coconut
oil, with high content of saturated acids, mainly lauric, it is solid at normal temperatures in
temperate areas, and is nearly colourless, varying from white to slightly yellow.
14
Crude palm oil are used in different industries for the production of frying oil, margarine, confectioneries, shortening, ice cream, yoghurt, food emulsier, coffee-whitener, candle, soap,
shampoo, detergent, lubricant, cosmetic, fatty acid, methyl ester, fatty alcohol, fatty amine,
and pharmaceutical products and etc. Palm kernel oil are used for manufacturing various palm
kernel oils and fats in order to produce cosmetics, detergents, soaps, candles and etc [60].
2.1.3.4 Oil Palm Wastes and Its Utilization
In line with the development of CPO production and its derived products, oil palm industry
also produces waste or by-product, both from the mill and the plantation. The waste from palm
oil mill consists of oil palm shell (OPS), oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), pressed fruit bre
(PFF) and palm oil mill efuent (POME), whilst the other waste from the plantation consists of
oil palm trunk (OPT), oil palm frond (OPF), and pruning oil palm frond (POPF). Pruning fronds
are constantly generated in the plantations and are mainly used in inter-row mulching [37]. The
availability of oil palm wastes from 1994 to 1999 is presented in Table 2.3.

According to the above table, the availability of oil palm by-products from the largest to the
few amount are pruning fronds (29.6 million tones), oil palm trunk (10.4 million tones), empty
fruit bunch (6.7 million tones) and fronds from replanting area (2.3 million tones), respectively.
The largest amount of wastes is oil palm fronds from pruning activity, but this material is constantly generated in the plantations and mainly used as inter-row mulching. The second largest
is oil palm trunk, which is available during the replanting process. This material will become
an environmental problem, if no effort is made to use it, especially Indonesia as the main producer. By 2010, it is estimated that there would be more than 10 million tones of oil palm trunks
available per year at the replanting area. The next is oil palm empty fruit bunch or EFB, which
is produced by palm oil mill. Indonesia Oil Palm Research Institute (IOPRI) has already been
conducting many researches in order to utilize and improve the economical values of this material, such as production of pulps, papers and panel products [59]. Oil palm wood has also been
utilized as a cellulosic raw material in the production of panel products, such as particleboard
[91], medium density breboard, mineral-bonded particleboard, block board [21], and cement
board [88].

2.1.4 Bioresin and Its Availability

Referring to Fowler [46] who stated that bioresin is a resin or resin formulation derived from a
biological sources, therefore, the term of bioresin in this study is refer to resin that extracted
from pine resin, which is commonly known as rosin. As a major product obtained from pine
resin, this material remains behind as the in-volatile residue after distillation of the turpentine.
2.1.4.1 Resin, Rosin and Bioresin
Resin is a hydrocarbon secretion formed in special resin canals of many plants, from many of
which (for example, coniferous trees) it is exuded in soft drops from wounds, hardening into
solid masses in the air. It may be obtained by making incisions in the bark or wood of the
secreting plant. It can also be extracted from resin-bearing plants by leaching of the tissues
with alcohol [96].
Resin as produced by most plants is a viscous liquid, typically composed mainly of volatile uid
terpenes, with lesser components of dissolved non-volatile solids which make resin viscous and
sticky. The commonest terpenes in resin are the bicyclic terpenes alpha-pinene, beta-pinene,
delta-3 carene and sabinene, the monocyclic terpenes limonene and terpinolene, and smaller
amounts of the tricyclic sesquiterpenes longifolene, caryophyllene and delta-cadinene. The
individual components of resin can be separated by fractional distillation [25].
2.1.4.2 Rosin and Its Uses
Rosin is a solid form of resin obtained from pines and some other plants, mostly conifers,
produced by heating fresh liquid resin to vaporize the volatile liquid terpene components. For
many years rosin and turpentine were used in an unprocessed form in the soap, paper, paint
and varnish industries. Currently, most rosin is modied and used in a wide range of products
including paper size, adhesives, printing inks, rubber compounds and surface coatings [41].
In industry it is the precursor to the ux used in soldering. The tin-lead solder commonly used
in electronics has about 1% rosin as a ux core helping the molten metal ow and making a
better connection. Rosin is an ingredient in printing inks, glues, medicines, chewing gum, paper
sizing, and soap. In addition to its extensive use in soap-making, rosin is largely employed in
making inferior varnishes, sealing-wax and various adhesives. It is also used for preparing
shoemakers wax, as a ux for soldering metals, for pitching lager beer casks, for rosining the
bows of musical instruments and numerous minor purposes [45].
In pharmaceutical it forms an ingredient in several plasters and ointments. On a large scale it is
treated by destructive distillation for the production of rosin spirit, pinoline and rosin oil. The
last enters into the composition of some of the solid lubricating greases, and is also used as an
adulterant of other oils. It is also extensively used for its friction-increasing capacity. Such uses
include rosining the bows of stringed instruments such as violins or cellos to enhance sound
production. For this purpose, extra substances such as gold and silver are added to the rosin for
extra friction [14]. Gymnasts, weight lifters, and baseball pitchers use a bag of powdered rosin
to keep their hands dry and to increase their grip. Ballet slippers are also rubbed in powdered
rosin to reduce slipping. A mixture of pitch and rosin is used to make a surface against which
glass is polished when making optical instruments such as lenses [75].
16
Rosin is graded and sold on the basis of colour, the palest shades of yellow-brown being the
better quality. Although several other criteria determine rosin quality and acceptability for
different applications, colour and softening point are usually sufcient indicators of quality to
satisfy purchasers of rosin from traditional and proven sources. Rosin is packaged in a variety
of forms. On discharge from the still, the molten rosin is often fed into new, galvanized steel
drums of around 225-250 kg (net) capacity. The drums have domed tops so that after they have
been set aside for the rosin to cool and solidify (with resulting contraction in volume), the tops
can be hammered at. Alternatively, at-topped drums can be lled in two or three stages over
several days to allow for the change in volume on cooling. International shipments of rosin are
usually made in container loads. In the larger producing countries in which there are large endconsumers of rosin, transportation of molten rosin in specially designed tank-cars is feasible;
this is unlikely, however, to be something which a new, smaller producer would contemplate
[28].
End users are showing a growing preference for less robust forms of packaging to enable easier
opening and handling, and in this case, silicone or polypropylene-lined multi-wall paper bags
can be used. The sacks can be lled either with molten rosin directly from the still (which is
then allowed to cool to form a solid block) or with akes of solidied rosin. The akes are
formed by discharging hot rosin onto a moving belt; by the time it has reached the end of the
line, the rosin has solidied into a thin sheet which can easily be broken up and transferred to
bags. For ease of handling, 25 kg bags are a convenient size [41].
2.1.4.3 Rosin Production and Trade

In some of the major producing countries, the structure of the industry, and the channels of
distribution of gum naval stores into the international market, has changed in recent years.
International trade is normally conducted through agents or dealers, rather than by direct negotiation between producer and end user. Agents usually act on behalf of a specic producer.
Dealers buy and sell on their own account, their main contacts being other dealers, producers
and end users. They are very well informed about markets and trends, prices, product uses and
end user requirements; this knowledge may be difcult for producers to acquire, particularly
small ones. Most of the production in smaller producing countries is for domestic consumption. The processors sell directly to end users such as paper mills, paint or chemical companies.
However, there are some basic procedures and practices which should be noted by prospective
new producers or others considering the sale of exports. Most purchases are made on the basis of agreed specications. New producers will therefore need to reassure potential buyers of
the quality of the material being offered by providing samples beforehand and, perhaps, a trial
shipment [48].
Total annual production of rosin is about 1.2 million tonnes world-wide. Of this, it is estimated
that almost 720,000 tonnes, or 60%, is gum rosin; most of the remainder, about 35% is tall oil
rosin and the rest is wood rosin [41]. During the early 1960s, the United States and former
USSR were leading producers of resin and several European countries (France, Greece, Poland,
Portugal and Spain) were also major producers [20].
Regarding trade of rosin, Coppen and Hone [29] further stated that The Peoples Republic of
China has been the worlds dominant producer for many years, but a dramatic increase in production, signalled by the installation of an improved and expanded processing capacity in the
17
early 1980s, has seen Indonesia become the second biggest producer of gum rosin and turpentine in the world. In 1993, Chinese gum naval stores production accounted for approximately
430,000 tonnes (60%) of world gum rosin production; Indonesia accounted for an additional
69,000 tonnes or about 10% of world production. While Chinese production is unlikely to
increase further, Indonesia has an ample (and growing) number of trees available for tapping
and the potential to increase production signicantly in the years to come [28]. Major rosin
producing countries between 1990 and 1993 is presented in Table 2.4.

Regarding production of crude resin and rosin in Indonesia, it is managed by Perum Perhutani,
the Forest State Corporations, who are also responsible for the tapping and processing operations (although some of the factories fall within the private sector). A very small quantity of
resin is produced intermittently in Sumatra. In the early 1980s, modern processing methods
were introduced to replace the older, direct-red distillation units. Production subsequently
rose from 16,000 tonnes of crude resin (9,000 tonnes of rosin) in 1981 to 70,000 tonnes of resin
(49,000 tonnes of rosin and 8,000 tonnes of turpentine) in 1991. By 1993, it had risen to over
100,000 tonnes of resin (69,000 tonnes of rosin and 12,000 tonnes of turpentine). Although
most of the rosin and turpentine produced in Indonesia is exported, an increasing proportion of
both are being consumed domestically. Perum Perhutani statistics for 1993 show that approximately 46,000 tonnes of rosin (two thirds of total production) and 7,500 tonnes of turpentine
were exported. In 1991, production in Indonesia came from about 100,000 ha of pine. The
actual area of planted pine in Java is about four times this gure and still expanding. There are
also large areas of pine plantations on Sumatra, Sulawesi and Kalimantan and these, too, are
increasing in size to meet the demand for wood pulp [27].

2.2. Related Research Reviews
2.2 Related Research Reviews

Several aspects in this related research reviews are described and discussed, including (1) Oil
palm wood conditions; (2) Oil palm wood characters (anatomical characteristics, physical and
mechanical properties, and chemical composition); and (3) Characteristics of rosin.
2.2.1 Oil Palm Wood Conditions
Oil palm trees are felled after reaching its economic life-span of 25 to 30 years. Felled trunks
are known to be a favourable focus for diseases and pests, such as basal stem rot, Ganoderma
and rhinoceros beetles (Oryetes rhinocerous). Currently, there is very limited economic use for
the oil palm trunks and its disposal imposes a heavy nancial burden to plantation owners. The
increasing number of replanting programmes anticipated in the near future will inevitably bring
even greater problems associated with the disposal of the large amount of trunks generated.
Killmann and Woon [66] reported that leaving the oil palm trunks to rot in the eld hinders
the replanting process since decomposition of the trunk proceeds at a very slow rate. Physical
removal of the trunks to dump sites is also found to be unfavourable due to high costs in transportation of the fresh material which can be three to four times the weight of the dry matter.
Therefore, it is not sound practice to leave this bulky waste material in the eld to degrade on its
own. Present in large quantities, as expected during replanting programmes, it poses a serious
threat to the environment.
In order to nd an effective solution to solve the above mention problem, various methods of
oil palm felling and disposal have been tried. Starting felling by hand, Hartley [53] stated that
technically this method was not only presents a lot of difculties, but also consumes a lot of
labour. Mechanical felling of the oil palm stands has proved to be easier and faster method,
where either an excavator or a tractor may be used to push-fell the trees.
The most common method for replanting of oil palm was the push-felled and burn method to
reduce the mass and volume. Push-felled was done by the excavator or other heavy vehicle.
Since the zero burning program was introduced in the 90s, this method immediately banned,
because it was signicantly creating the air pollution (Figure 1.1).
Further, the push-felled methods followed by burning process was modied into the new method
called push-felled and windrow as shows in Figure 1.2. In order to increase the decomposition and degradation process by natural decomposer, after pushing and felling, the palms were
chipped previously into pieces. The chipped of the palms were not burnt but then windrowed,
usually two palm rows to on windrow, and left them to decompose in the palm inter-rows, then
this method namely push-felled, chip and windrow.
Most of the oil palm companies, either public or private, currently applies this method. It looks
quite effective method, but it was also reported that the attacks by pests and diseases increase
very rapidly to the young mature plants around the replanting area. The chipped palms became
nests of rat and beetle and also as media for Ganoderma disease.
The other zero burning technique of replanting program was the under-planting method, where
the young palms were planted under the old palms, which were gradually poisoned. This
method is illustrated in Figure 5.2.2. Unfortunately, the poisoned palms took more than two
years to decompose completely and this resulted in very high breeding of Oryctes rhinoceros
beetles, which has become the most serious pest in immature and young mature palms.

2.2.2 Oil Palm Wood Characters

Anatomical Review of Oil Palm Wood
As a monocotyledonous species, oil palm does not have cambium, secondary growth, growth
rings, ray cells, sapwood and heartwood or branches and knots. The growth and increase in diameter of the stem result from the overall cell division and cell enlargement in the parenchymatous ground tissue, together with the enlargement of the bres of the vascular bundles. Looking
at a cross sectional view of the oil palm trunk, Killmann and Choon [65] distinguished three
main parts, namely cortex, peripheral region and central zone.
Cortex - A narrow cortex, which is approximately 1.5 to 3.5 cm wide, makes up the outer part
of the trunk. It is largely composed of ground parenchyma with numerous longitudinal brous
strands of small and irregular shaped brous strands and vascular bundles.
Periphery - This region with narrow layers of parenchyma and congested vascular bundles, give
ride to a sclerotic zone which provides the main mechanical support for the palm trunk.
Central - The central zone, which makes up about 80% of the total are, is composed of slightly
larger and widely scattered vascular bundles embedded in the thin wall parenchymatous ground
tissues. Towards the core of the trunk the bundles increase in size and are more widely scattered.
Vascular bundles - Each vascular bundle is basically made up of a brous sheath, phloem cells,
xylem and parenchyma cells. According to Lim and Khoo [73] the number of vascular bundles
per unit area decrease towards the inner zones and increase from the butt end to the top of the
palm. The xylem is sheathed by parenchyma and contains mainly one or two wide vessels in
the peripheral region and two or three vessels of similar width in the central and core region.
Though rare, bundles with more than three vessels arranged tangentially or in clusters can also
be found scattered, particularly in the core region. Extended protoxylem, reduced vascular
tissue and small bundles with little brous tissue are also commonly found scattered among
the wider bundles in the core region. Lim and Khoo [73] further stated that the distribution
of brous strands depends on the number of bundles present. The peripheral region normally
contains a large number of radially extended brous sheathed, thus providing the mechanical
strength to the palm. The bres have multi-layered secondary walls and increase in length from
the periphery to the pith. The basal part of the stem, being older, normally has better developed
secondary walls than do the top parts. The phloem cells, in single strand, are present between
the xylem and bre strands. In the peripheral sclerotic region, the bundles are generally smaller
and in some cases, almost disappear. The area occupied by the phloem, which is in the form of
an inverted triangle, increases in size as the bundles become larger in the central region.
Parenchymatous Tissue - The ground parenchymatous cells consist mainly of thin-walled
spherical cells, except in the area around the vascular bundles. The walls are progressively
thicker and darker from the inner to the outer region.

Physical Properties of Oil Palm Wood

Moisture Content
Killmann and Choon [65] stated that initial moisture content of the oil palm wood varies between 100 and 500%. Lim and Khoo [73] further stated that a gradual increase in moisture
content is indicated along the trunk height and towards the central region, with the outer and
lower zone having far lower values than the other two zones. Whilst, Bakar et al. [10] stated
that based on depth of the trunk, the highest moisture content was reached at the central of trunk
and a gradual decrease to the outer part of trunk. These values were between 258% and 575%.
An increasing in the number of vascular bundles was caused of a decreasing in percentage of
parenchyma cells which have high capacity in water absorption [83]. Bakar et al. [10] further
stated that based on the trunk height factor; there was a tendency that the moisture content was
decreased from the bottom to the top of the oil palm tree. They predicted that it was inuence
by the effect of earth gravity, where the water distribution to the higher part of the trunk requires
higher caviler pressure. Bakar et al. [10] again stated that the variant analysis was showed that
both the trunk height and depth were signicant at the level of 0.01 to the value of moisture
content.
Shrinkage
The shrinkage value of oil palm wood was varies between 25% and 74% [10]. Based on the
trunk depth, the highest value of shrinkage was reached at the central part and a gradually
decrease to the outer part. Whilst, based on the trunk height, from the bottom part to the height
of 2.75 m, this value was lower compare to the other parts. According to their ndings, there
was a tendency that a gradual increase in shrinkage value is indicated along the trunk height,
except at the height of 2.75 m. Regarding this phenomenon, Prayitno [83] further mentioned
his opinion that it was an anomaly for the oil palm trunk at 2.75 m height.
Density
Due to its monocotyledonous nature, there is a great variation of density values at different
parts of the oil palm stem. Density values range from 200 to 600 kg/m3 with an average
density of 370 kg/m3 [73] and according to the experiment result from Bakar et al. [10] who
conducted the investigation based on variety of Tenera, the density was varies between 110
and 400 kg/m3 . Lim and Khoo [73] further stated that the density of oil palm trunk decreases
linearly with the trunk height and towards the centre of the trunk. This is reected in the clear
distinction observed in hardness and weight between the outer and inner portions and the butt
and higher regions of the trunk. The outer region throughout the trunk shows density values
over twice those of the inner regions. These variations are due to several factors. Across the
trunk the density is inuenced largely by the number of vascular bundles per square unit which
decreases towards the center. However, variations in density along trunk height are due to the
vascular bundles being younger at the top and of the palm. Although higher in number per
square centimeter, the bundle here are smaller in size and the cell walls are thinner.
Higher density values in the peripheral zone are also due to the following reasons:
presence of radially extended brous sheaths,
lesser number of vessels and general absence of extended protoxylem in the outer vascular
bundles,
21
progressively thicker walls of the ground parenchyma cells from the inner to the outer
zones,
presence of better developed secondary walls in the bres [73].
Sadikin [87] stated that the oil palm trunk can be use as wood construction until 2/3 from the
outer part across the trunk and the other 1/3 part can be used for making house tools. In addition,
Sadikin [87] suggested that the utilization of oil palm trunk for construction purposes was better
to use 1/3 from outer part of the trunk, based on the following reasons:
the specic gravity of oil palm trunk at peripheral zone was extremely different with the
central and inner zone,
the shrinkage values of oil palm trunk at both central and inner zones was far higher
values that peripheral zone,
Regarding the density value, Bakar et al. [10] stated that based on the trunk depth, the density
was a gradual decrease from the outer part to the inner part across the trunk, but based on the
trunk height, the relation between height and density was not clear, although the density value
at the bottom part was relatively lower compare to the other parts. Further, based on the average
density values, Bakar et al. [10] dened the classication of strength class of the oil palm trunk
that strength class III for peripheral zone, strength class IV for central zone and strength class
V for inner zone.
Fibre Dimensions
Oil palm wood bres show a slight increase in length from the butt end to a height of 3 to 5
meters before decreasing continuously towards the top. Longer bres at the butt are probably
due to more matured brous tissue in this region. Oil palm bre length increases from periphery
to the inner part. Mean bre length range from 1.76 mm at periphery to 2.37 mm at the inner
part. This is due to the nature of the palm growth where the overall increase in trunk diameter is
due to enlargement of the brous bundle sheath, particularly those accompanying the vascular
bundles in the central region. [65]. Lim and Khoo [73] stated that bre diameter decreases
along trunk height because broader bres are to be found in the larger vascular bundles nearer
the base of the palm trunk and vice versa. The bre dimensions of oil palm trunk compared
to those of angiosperms, represented by rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis), and gymnosperms,
represented by Douglas r (Pseudotsuga menziesii) are shown in Table 2.5. Oil palm bres are
comparable in length to bres from rubberwood, but are much shorter than those of Douglas r
[21].

According to strength classication, Bakat et al. [10] came to the conclusions that oil palm
trunk is classied into class III to V, and according to durability classication it is classied into
22
class V. Based on these strength and durability classes, the most outer part of oil palm trunk
that reached 30% of the stem frond-free volume, can be utilized as materials for certain part of
furniture and light building construction.
Mechanical Properties of Oil Palm Wood
Killmann and Choon [65] have investigated the mechanical properties of oil palm trunk (30
years old) and compared to the other species, such as coconut wood and rubberwood. Mechanical properties of oil palm trunk reect the density variation observed in the trunk both in radial
as well as in the vertical direction. Bending strength values are obtained from the peripheral
lower portion of the trunk and the central core of the top portion of the trunk gives the lowest
strength. Bending strength of oil palm trunk is comparable to coconut wood, but lower compared to rubberwood. Variation of the compression strength parallel to grain also follows the
same trend as the bending strength. The compression strength value is comparable to rubberwood at similar density value. The hardness value of oil palm trunk is lower than rubberwood
as well as coconut wood.
The mechanical properties of oil palm wood based on Tenera variety investigations were meanwhile greatly advanced by Bakar et al. [9]. They came to the conclusion that all properties
tested including MOE, MOR, compressive strength, cleavage strength, shear strength, hardness
and toughness were decreased from the outer to the center and from the bottom to top of the
trunk, where the inuence of trunk depth factor was higher than the trunk height. Based on the
mechanical properties, the most outer part of the oil palm trunk which is comparable to the Sengon wood (Paraserianthes falcataria) and belongs to the strength class III to V were considered
could be used for light housing constructions and furniture.
Bakar et al. [9] stated that the average MOE values at various positions shown that those values
are indicated a gradual decrease in MOE along the trunk height and depth. The MOE value
range varies between 2908 kg/cm2 and 36289 kg/cm2 . Variation of the MOR also follows the
same trend as the MOE. The mean values of MOR at peripheral, central and inner zones were
about 295.41 kg/cm2 , 129.04 kg/cm2 and 66.91 kg/cm2 , respectively. Statistical analysis of
MOE value showed that the differences in trunk depth effect signicantly at the level of 0.01
and the trunk height only inuence signicantly at the level of 0.05. It means that in order
to produce the homogenous lumber, the trunk depth position should be taken into attention,
especially in determining the sawing pattern before lumbering process.
Chemical Properties of Oil Palm Wood
In order to investigate the chemical properties of oil palm wood, Yusoff et al. [97] stated that
the variation in chemical composition across the trunk at the 1.8 m height level in one tree was
difcult to generalise. However, Husin et al. [58] has studied the chemical properties of oil
palm trunk and found that the oil palm trunk has lignin and lignocelluloses contents markedly
lower but shows higher content of extractives, as well as water and alkali soluble than coconut
wood and rubberwood. In a separate study, Halimahton and Ahmad [52] observed that the lignin
content was fairly evenly distributed throughout the tree except that the core in the upper region
was slightly decient in the component whilst the bottom contained an excessive amount. The
lignin content range varies between 15% and 21.7%. The result are consistent with the fact that
the number of brous vascular bundles increases towards the peripheral region and thickening
of the older vascular bundles gives rise to the higher lignin content of the lower trunk. The ash
content also observed to be similar throughout the trunk with the range varies between 3.0%
and 3.3%.
23
Important contribution of the further development of the chemical properties of oil palm trunk
were studies of free sugar and starch carried out by Sudin et al. [90]. Freshly felled oil palm
trunk may yield up to 10% free sugars and 25% starch. In advance, Hamilton and Ahmad [52]
reported that a total content of free sugars of 2 to 10% throughout the trunk height. The core regions were found to elaborate higher proportion of free sugars as shown by the methanol-water
extracts whilst the peripheral zones had the lowest. According to analysis by high performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed sucrose, glucose and fructose as the three main free
sugars of the oil palm trunk. Further the authors indicated that analysis free sugar by acid hydrolysis of oil palm trunk produced higher amount of sugars, ranging between 48% and 70%.
Examination of the HPLC trace of the acid hydrolyzate showed the present of six sugar components namely glucose, xylose, galactose, arabinose, mannose, and rhamnose, with glucose
being the major component (35 to 48%) followed by xylose (11 to 16%).
On the basis of standard TAPPI of chemical analysis, Bakar et al. [10], using oil palm trunk of
Tenera variety, had also concluded that a gradual decrease in lignin content and cellulose from
peripheral zone to inner zone, whilst starch content were increased. Ash and silica contents
were found high value at the inner zone. The soluble analyses using hot water, cold water,
alcohol benzene and NaOH 1% were also found high proportions at the inner zone

2.2.3 Characteristics of Rosin

Rosin is also known as colophony, yellow resin and abietic anhydride. It is obtained from Pinus
palustris and other species of Pinus pinaceae, as a residue after distilling off the volatile oil
from the oleoresin. Rosin can also be obtained from southern pine stumps, gum rosin exudes
from incisions in the living tree, Pinus palastris and Pinus caribaea and tall oil resin (liquid
rosin) [25].
It can have important uses for manufacturing varnish, soap, paint driers, printing inks, cements,
sealing wax, wood polishes, oor coverings, paper, plastics, greases, linoleum, otation agents,
asphalt emulsions and pharmaceutical ingredients (stiffening agent).
General Characteristics of Rosin
Rosin is the major product obtained from pine resin. It remains behind as the involatile residue
after distillation of the turpentine and is also known as colophony or colophonia resina from its
origin in Colophon, an ancient Ionic city. It is the resinous constituent of the oleo-resin exuded
by various species of pine, known in commerce as crude turpentine. The separation of the
oleo-resin into the essential oil-spirit of turpentine and common rosin is effected by distillation
in large copper stills. The essential oil is carried off at a temperature of between 100 C and
160 C, leaving uid rosin, which is run off through a tap at the bottom of the still, and puried
by passing through straining wadding [69].
Rosin varies in colour, according to the age of the tree from whence the turpentine is drawn
and the amount of heat applied in distillation, from an opaque almost pitchy black substance
through grades of brown and yellow to an almost perfectly transparent colourless glassy mass.
Base on rosin colour, the palest being the most desirable and designated WW (water-white).
This grade and the slightly lower grade WG (window-glass) are the most commonly traded
rosins. A superior grade, X, is sometimes offered. Darker grades are N, M, K, I, H and lower.
The notation follows the USDA colour scale for rosin which is used universally in international
trade [75].
Physical Characteristics of Rosin
Rosin is glassy solid, semi-transparent and varies in colour from yellow to black. It is insoluble
in water but soluble in many organic solvents. At room temperature it is brittle, but it melts at
stove-top temperatures [27].
Chemical Characteristics of Rosin
Rosin is chiey composed of about 90% resin acids and 10% neutral matter. Of the resin
acids, about 90% are isometric with abietic acid (C20 H30 O2 ), the other 10% is a mixture of
dihydroabietic acid (C20 H32 O2 ) and dehydroabietic acid (C20 H28 O2 ), with a molecular weight
of 302. Also it is readily fusible when heated, it has a density of 1.07-1.09, and is insoluble
in water, while being freely soluble in alcohol, benzene, ether, glacial acetic acid, oils, carbon
disulde, as well as being soluble in dilute solutions or xed alkali hydroxides. Rosin is very
ammable, burning with a smoky ame, so care should be taken when melting it. When melted
to a thick uid, it can be surprisingly ductile [18] [44]. The molecular structure detail of rosin
(colophony) is shown in Figure 2.2.
Olivares-Prez [80] stated that rosin is a composed of approximate constant percentiles of abietic acids, hydroabietics, neoabietics, priaric acid, levoprimaric acids and isoprimaric. Ninety
25
Fig. 2.2: Rosin basic structure monomer of the abietic acid
percent is made up of isometric abietic acids. With this information in order to simplify the
description process, that the abietic acid forms the rosin.
In a term applied to a naturally occurring solid resinous material obtained from pine trees, rosin
(colophony) is predominantly a mixture of resin acids belonging to one of four basic skeletal
classes: abietane, pimarane, isopimarane and labdane. The exact composition and properties of
the rosin depend on factors such as the species of timber, growth locality, recovery process and
method of preparation. Up to 10% of the rosin may also consist of other carboxylic acids and
non-acidic neutral compounds [85].
Rosin is a glass, rather than a crystalline solid, and the point at which is softens when heated
is referred to as the softening point (rather than melting point). A softening point in the range
70 80 C is usual, the higher end of the range representing the better quality. Several other
physico-chemical characteristics inuence the quality and these are largely dependent on the
species of pine from which the rosin is obtained, i.e., they are determined more by genetic than
environmental and processing factors [29]. The specication of rosin is presented in Table 2.6.

Since rosin is an acidic material and the manufacturer of downstream derivatives depends on its
acid functionality, a high acid number (and saponication number) is also an indication of good
quality. The better quality rosins usually have an acid number in the range 160-170. Provided
that the acid number is high, the detailed resin acid composition of rosin is usually of little
consequence or interest to the end user. An exception is rosin derived from Pinus merkusii
which, because of the presence of a rather rare resin acid, has an acid number which is higher
than normal; it may reach 190 or more. The percentage of unsaponiable matter indicates the
amount of non-acidic material in the rosin, so the lower this value, the better; anything above
26
about 10% unsaponiable matter would be considered poorer quality rosin. The quality of rosin
is better compare to wood rosin which is produced by Harwick Chemical Corporation with acid
number about 150 and Unsaponiable Matter of about 8.1% [43].
Most rosin is used in a chemically modied form rather than in the raw state in which it is
obtained. It chiey consists of different resin acids, especially abietic acid. Abietic acid also
known as abietinic acid or sylvic acid is the primary irritant in pine, isolated from rosin via isomerization. Its ester is called an abietate. The chemical name of this acid is 13-isopropylpodocarpa -7,13-dien-15-oic acid with the molecular mass 302.44 g/mol, melting point 173 C, boiling point 250 C at 9 mmHg, yellow resinous powder, crystals or chunks forms. This intrinsic
acidity, coupled with other chemical properties, enables it to be converted to a large number of
downstream derivatives which are used in a wide range of applications. The derivatives include
salts, esters and maleic anhydride adducts, and hydrogenated, disproportionated and polymerized rosins [27].

3 Material and Methodology

In this chapter, the experimental was designed and explained systematically to provide a guidance for conducting the whole investigations of anatomical characteristics, wood zoning determination and reinforcement of oil palm wood with bioresin. Therefore, this chapter is divided
into two parts, i.e. material and methodology. In material section, it consists of material preparation, starting from trees selection to the specimen manufacturing, whilst the methodology
comprises the detail procedures to conduct the experiments.
3.1 Material
Oil Palm Wood
The oil palm plantations in Indonesia distribute in many islands, such as Sumatra, Kalimantan,
Java, Sulawesi and Irian Jaya. The oil palm wood for this study were taken from North Sumatra,
as shown in Figure 3.1. The sample trees are provided by IOPRI which are taken from Aek
Pancur oil palm plantation, Medan-Indonesia.

The 1978 estate was chosen as sampling area with the total area of about 5.1 hectares. This
estate consists of four different varieties of oil palm plant as shows in Table 3.1. The variety
of DxP was selected for experimental sample trees and ten trees were selected randomly from
two different plots area. Then, two trees are used for anatomical investigation and determining

Bioresin
Besides the oil palm wood, the other material that used in this study is rosin or bioresin which
is derived from pine resin and used to reinforced the oil palm wood. The resin was tapped from
Pinus merkusii in Aek Nauli Plantation, North Sumatra and it was processed into rosin directly
by local resin company, but the author received 1 drum with weight approx. 25 kg of this material from CV. National1 . The obtained rosin was in glassy solid and semi transparent with the
yellow-brown light colour, as shown in Figure 3.2. according to the preliminary investigation
at Oleochemical Laboratory at IOPRI, this bioresin was brittle at room temperature (27 C), but
it melts at stove-top temperature with softening point starting at 75 C. Regarding the oil palm
wood reinforced bioresin treatment, acetone was used as the organic solvents for this bioresin.
This company is one of the representative re-seller of rosin in Medan, North Sumatra

3.1.1 Oil Palm Trunk Processing

In material preparation, all selected oil palm trees were felled manually using chainsaw. In
order to get the homogeneous lumbers, the bottom part of the trunk was marking based on the
visual colour-impression of vascular bundles distribution at transverse section. This was carried
out to dene initially the oil palm wood zoning. Further, eight trees were sawn and processed
into lumber. The dimension of lumbers were vary from 2.5 to 3.0 m in length and 10 to 25 cm
in width and various thick (6 to 10 cm) depend on the trunk condition. Lumbering process of
oil palm trunk using chainsaw is presented in Figure 3.3(a). The obtained lumbers were then
tagged or labeled and classied based on three different zones, i.e. inner, central and peripheral.
Further, the whole lumbers were transported to the local drying company2 as soon as possible
after lumbering process to dry the lumbers. The time between felling and drying was not more
12 hours to avoid the fungi attack. The obtained lumbers were dried until achieving the moisture
content (MC) of about 5 to 12%. This is carried out by applying the drying schedule which is
adopted directly from the drying company on the basis of their experience.
The remain two trees were then cut into several disks about 6 cm in thick with distance of one
meter each for the whole length of the trunk, as shown in Figure 3.3(b). In order to avoid fungal
attack, the obtained samples were then stored directly in refrigerator as soon as possible (not
more than 12 hours) after sawing process. Further, each disk sample was taken for counting
the vascular bundles to dene the oil palm wood zoning. This task was carried out manually
using simple apparatus and by helping of magnify glass. Detail process of this experiment is
described in Section 3.2.1.2.

3.1.2 Wood Specimen Manufacturing
The manufacturing of wood specimen from oil palm wood was carried out by referring to standard testing methods, e.g. ASTM and DIN. According to ASTM Standard [3], there are two
methods of testing which can be used to evaluate the wood properties, i.e. primary method
and secondary method. These methods are used on the basic of wood condition, particularly
for wood from dicotyledon species due to the effect of growth rings which is inuenced by
earlywood and latewood differences in represent a considerable portion of the sampled material. Based on this regulation and due to the oil palm wood belongs to monocotyledon species,
which does not have a growth rings, and also the limited material available for wood specimen,
therefore most of testings and manufacturing of small clear specimen size from oil palm wood
were conducted and manufactured on the basic of secondary method, respectively.
The wood specimen from oil palm trunk for physical, mechanical and machinery properties
evaluation was produced by referring to ASTM [3], [4], [5] and DIN Standards [31], [30] and
the detail outline of wood specimen production is presented in Figure 3.4, whilst the shape and
dimension can be seen in Figure 3.9.
Detail of wood specimen (untreated and treated wood) including type of wood properties testing, standard testing used, number of specimen and its size, and from which part of the trunk
that the specimen has made, are presented in Table 3.3; 3.4; 3.5.

3.2 Methodology
Research methodology was guiding and conducting all activities during the experimental works,
both in the eld and laboratory, on the basis of the research methods or procedures which were
referring to the standard of analysis. It was also describing and explaining each research activities based on the standard testing and requirement, such as American Standard Testing Method
(ASTM) and German Standard (DIN). Starting from the determination of sampling area, tree
selection, tree measurement, trunk processing such as felling, lumbering, transporting, drying
and specimen manufacturing, etc., oil palm wood reinforcement and nally the experimental
data analysis. Therefore, the methodology was divided into several parts as follows: (1) Characterization of oil palm wood; (2) Reinforcement techniques of oil palm wood with bioresin;
(3) Wood properties testing of oil palm wood; and (4) Experimental data analysis. The research
frame is presented in Figure 3.5 which illustrates all experiments to achieve the objectives of
this study.
In order to do all experimental activities, several equipment were used. In this study, the equipment used is grouped into eld, workshop and laboratory equipments. Field equipment was
used for helping the eld work activities, starting from felling the trees until transporting the oil
palm lumbers. They are chainsaw, axe, machete, lumber labeling kit, and etc. Whilst, portable
circular saw, portable planner, portable sander, and others wood working kit were used at workshop, especially for preparing the oil palm wood specimen. Further, the impregnation tank,
thermometer, moisture meter, soaking box, and laboratory apparatus were used in laboratory
during the reinforcement of oil palm wood.

3.2. Methodology
3.2.1 Characterization of Oil Palm Wood

Oil palm wood characteristics were investigated including anatomical investigation by visual
observation using both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, particularly to investigate the wood components structure, such as vascular bundle structure, bres, vessel and
parenchymatous tissue arrangement. Besides wood anatomy of oil palm, the wood zoning of
this monocotyledons species was also investigated due to the heterogeneity of wood toward the
central point of the trunk. Therefore in this section, the research methodology is divided into
two parts, i.e. anatomical investigation and wood zoning determination.
3.2.1.1 Anatomical Investigation of Oil Palm Wood
Investigation of wood anatomy was carried out in Wood Laboratory at Forstnutzung, Dresden
University of Technology. Whilst, the dried wood of oil palm was prepared in Wood and Composite Laboratory at IOPRI, Indonesia.
General characteristics of OPW was investigated consisting colour and grain. Colour of OPW
was identied and examined visually by naked eyes. Tsoumis [93] stated that change of colour
of wood may take place soon after felling trees or after sawing green logs to lumber. Refer
to the relative size and proportion of vascular bundles and other wood elements as seen with
the naked eyes, the texture of OPW was also dened especially to describe the differentiate
between peripheral, central ad inner zones at transverse section of the trunk. Further, dening
the degree of vascular bundles uniformity which appearances at longitudinal view of trunk, was
also visually identied to dene the direction of vascular bundles arrangement.
Macroscopic features of oil palm wood were investigated by visual observation on several
pieces of wood-disk of oil palm trunk and also directly on the standing trees. Wood component identication, vascular bundles and parenchymatous tissue distribution were conducted by
helping a hand lens, further the colour and grain direction were also observed visually.
More detail structure of oil palm wood was carried out using light microscopy and scanning
electron microscopy. The maceration technique was adopted to macerate the vascular bundle
and its components. To record the microscopic structure of wood component, Nikon Coolpix
990 complete with special adapter to attach the microscope was used in this experiment. In order
to record the wood component at ultra-structure level, scanning electron microscopy was used,
especially to observe the vascular bundle structures and its component, such as parenchyma
cells, brous strands, tracheary elements, metaxylem and etc.
3.2.1.2 Wood Zoning Determination of Oil Palm
In order to develop the oil palm trunk processing through the improvement of homogeneity of
oil palm lumber and also to get more homogeny specimens for this study, the trunks were sawn
on the basis of vascular bundles distribution at transverse sectional view. In 1985, Killmann
and Choon [65] published their experimental result that the oil palm wood is divided into three
zones, i.e. inner, central and peripheral zone. Further, the position of each regions is not dened
yet. To dene the above mentioned zones at transverse section of the trunk, the author conducted
this experiment, namely wood zoning determination. It is done through the determination of oil
palm wood zone based on distribution vascular bundles population density from central point to
39
3.2. Methodology
outer part of the trunk. Two assumption were proposed in this experiment with regards to total
area of sampling and the size and form of sampling those shall be taken into consideration in
order to achieve the representative sample for analysis.
Consider to the above conditions, the proposed assumptions in this experiment are:
Assumption 1 total area of samplings is not less than 10% of the area of oil palm
wood without bark at transverse section,
Assumption 2 sampling form is spherical form with the diameter of sampling is
approximately ten millimeters.
The experiment was carried out through the following steps:
1. Dening the representative wood disk samples,
2. Mathematical calculation and analysis for dening the vascular bundle distribution from
the central point to the outer part of the trunk at transverse sectional view,
3. Statistical analysis for dening position or border-line of the oil palm wood zone at transverse sectional view.
Dening representative wood-disk samples
The wood samples were sawn from several positions along the trunk with the distance of about
100 cm from one sample to another (Figure 3.3(b)). This sample was taken from the trunk in
the form of wood disk, which was cut perpendicularly to grain direction. Whilst the sampling
form in this experiment was spherical with the diameter of about 10 mm as mentioned in the
above assumptions. The illustration how the oil palm wood-disk samples those were taken from
the trunk is presented in Figure 3.6.
Determining wood zoning based on vascular bundles distribution
The aim in this part is to determine the zone of oil palm wood based on vascular bundle distribution from the central point to the outer part of the trunk. Two steps of analysis are applied in
this experiment, i.e.: mathematical and statistical analysis.
The mathematical analysis was carried out to dene the number of representative samplings
shall be drawn on the wood-disk sample, as illustrated in the Figure 3.7. Further, this analysis
was also used to dene the distance of sampling series, which was drawn from the central
point to the outer part of the trunk. Based on this approach, practically each sampling was
drawn using special ruler with spherical holes 10 mm and the vascular bundles were counted
manually using help of magnifying glass, as shown in Figure 3.8. The distribution of vascular
bundles was then analyzed based on the obtained data of population density of vascular bundles
per square centimeter. Population in this term is referring to the number of vascular bundles
that presence in the spherical sampling. The complete of mathematical analysis of wood zoning
is presented in Appendix B.
After dening the above mentioned variables (number of sampling and distance of sampling
series), the statistical analysis was applied to determined the zone position of oil palm wood at
transverse section of the trunk. This analysis was conducted on the basis of average values of

3.2.2 Bioresin Reinforcement Techniques of Oil Palm Wood

Concerning the improvement of wood utilization, modied wood have been growing steadily
in importance because of unusual properties and beauty of the nished product. The properties
and even the appearance of the modied wood are largely dependent on the actual physical
and chemical methods used in manufacture. In this study, reinforcement of oil palm wood
with bioresin was one of effort to improve its utilization. The wood specimens were treated
with bioresin to improve its physical, mechanical and machinery properties. Two methods or
techniques of bioresin reinforcement were tested in this study, i.e. high temperature technique
and chemical technique. These methods were referred to the standard specication of modied
wood [6] through the impregnation process of bioresin. In order to reach the optimum experimental condition, the experiment was previously conducted at preliminary experiment and
continued to the main experiment using the optimum condition. The wood reinforced bioresin
process was carried out through the following process:
Using the heat technique, the wood specimen was submerged into hot liquid of bioresin in
impregnation tank at 180 C, the air vapour of wood evaporates directly due to different air
pressure between wood and liquid, and at the same time, the liquid penetrated into the specimen
immediately through the intercellular cavities of wood. When the specimen taken out from the
tank, the bioresin liquid in the wood specimen becomes harden and thermoset until the room
temperature was achieved. The chemical technique of bioresin reinforcement was carried out
42
3.2. Methodology
using similar procedure, but it runs in bioresin soluble in acetone at room temperature of about
27 to 30 C.
The experiment was divided into three groups of treatment and refer to the research frame (see
Figure 3.5), i.e.:
Group 1: Untreated Wood or simply UW, where the specimen was tested without any
treatment,
Group 2: Bioresin Heat Technique, where the specimen was treated with bioresin at
180 C and various impregnation time, e.g. 150 and 300 seconds,
Group 3: Bioresin Chemical Technique, where the specimen was treated with bioresin
soluble in acetone at various concentration (10 and 20%) and impregnation time (24 and
48 hours).
The untreated specimens (control) were prepared at the following conditions:
Material: oil palm trunk (MC 5-10%)
Trunk height: 1; 3; 5; 7 and 9 meter
Wood zoning: IZ (inner zone); CZ (central zone) and PZ (peripheral zone)
Replication: 5 times
Physical test: Moisture; density; and shrinkage

Machinery test: cross cutting; planning; shaving; moulding; and boring
Total specimen: 806 pieces
3.2.2.1 Heat Technique of Reinforcement
In this technique, the treatment was run at high temperature. Three different temperatures were
applied in preliminary experiment,i.e. 120; 150; 180 C. According to the obtained result, the
optimum heat for bioresin was reached at temperature 180 C. Further, the treatment condition
at main experiment was conducted at temperature of 180 C; two different impregnating time
(150 and 300 seconds) for all specimens (physical, mechanical and machinery tests).

Similar to the previous technique, the chemical technique of reinforcement was carried out
the preliminary experiment previously to achieve the optimum condition of the treatment process. Three different solvents were examined to select the proper solvent for bioresin, including
methanol, ethanol and acetone. According to the preliminary result, the acetone was selected
as proper organic solvent for bioresin. Further, the experimental condition of the treatment is
presented below:

3.2.3 Oil Palm Wood Properties Investigation

Due to the unique of wood properties of oil palm trunk in comparison with the common woods,
where the oil palm wood has a great variety of density along the trunk, very susceptible to fungal attack, and difculties of wood-working process, hence the following important properties
including physical, mechanical, and machinery properties were tested and examined based on
ASTM and DIN standards. On the basic of ASTM procedure which was described in Section
3.1.2, most of the wood properties investigation were done through the secondary methods,
which referred to ASTM D 143-94 [3].
3.2.3.1 Physical Properties
Physical properties of oil palm wood were investigated, including moisture content, density
(specic gravity) and shrinkage. The testing was carried out referred to ASTM D 143-94 Standard methods of testing small clear specimens of timber [3], ASTM D 2016-94 [4] - Test
methods for moisture content of wood, and DIN 52 183 - Normen ber Holz - Bestimmung des
Feuchtigkeitsgehaltes [31].
Moisture content
At least two groups of wood specimen were used to investigate the moisture content, i.e. green
wood and dry wood of oil palm. The green wood specimen was taken from the trunk immediately after felling process or directly storing in refrigerator before measuring the moisture
content. The green moisture of oil palm wood was measured to determine the initial moisture content based on their position along the trunk and also their position over the transverse
section. Dry wood specimen was taken from the dried oil palm wood after drying process in
local drying company. The dry moisture content was measured to examine the initial moisture
content of oil palm wood for evaluating the mechanical and machinery properties.
The sample for moisture determination of each test specimen was selected randomly according
to their zones. After weighing, the specimens were dried at a temperature of 103 2 C until
approximately the constant mass was attained, after which the oven-dry mass was determined
[4]. According to DIN 52 183 [31], it was done by drying and weighing for at least three times,
i.e. after 24 hours; 6 hours and 2 hours. The specimen size was approx. 50 mm (length) x 50
mm (width) x 35 mm (height) as shown in Figure 3.9a. The moisture content was calculated
using the following formula:
MC =
BB
x100%
B
(3.1)
Where, M C is moisture content in (%); B is specimen weight at green condition in g; B is

specimen weight after drying in g.
Density
The wood density of oil palm was determined on the basic of dried specimen using archimedes
method. The specimen size was approx. 30x30x30 mm (Figure 3.9b). The wood specimens
were dried at a temperature of 103 2 C until approximately the constant mass was attained
[4][31]. After oven-drying, the specimens were weighed and immersed them in a hot parafn
bath, and removed the specimen quickly to ensure a thin coating. Further, the volume of the
45
3.2. Methodology
parafn-coated specimen was measured by immersion in millimeter glass. Finally, the wood
density was calculated using the following formula:
=
Wovendry
Vovendry
(3.2)
Where, is density in g/cm3 ; Wovendry is specimen weight after drying in g ; and Vovendry is
specimen volume after drying in cm3 .
Shrinkage
This wood feature was determined based on shrinkage-in-volume of the oil palm wood. The
dimension of green specimen was measured and dried at temperature of 103 2 C until approximately the constant mass was reached [3][30]. The volume of the dried specimen was
determined using archimedes method as similar as in density determination procedure (see Figure 3.9c). The volumetric shrinkage was calculated using the following formula:
Sv =
Vgreen Vovendry
x 100%
Vgreen
(3.3)
Where, Sv is volumetric shrinkage in percent; Vgreen is volume of specimen in green condition

in cm3 ; and Vovendry is volume of specimen after drying in cm3 .
3.2.3.2 Mechanical Properties
Mechanical properties of oil palm wood was tested through the following properties i.e. static
bending strength including modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR), shear
strength parallel to grain, hardness strength, compression strength parallel to grain, tension
strength parallel and perpendicular to grain, cleavage strength and nail withdrawal resistance
testings. All testings were done on the basic of ASTM D 143-94 [3] and all the specimen form
and size is presented in Figure 3.9.
Static Bending
The static bending test specimen was made on 25x25x410 mm (see Figure 3.9d) referring to
secondary method. Loading span and support were used center loading and a span length of
360 mm for the secondary method. This span were established in order to maintain a minimum
span-to-depth ratio of 14. Both supporting knife edge were provided with bearing plates and
rollers of such thickness that the distance from the point of support to the central plane was not
greater than the depth of the specimen. The load was applied continuously throughout the test
at a rate of motion of the movable crosshead of 1.3 mm/min.
Shear Strength Parallel to Grain
The shear strength parallel to grain test was made on 50x50x63 mm (see Figure 3.9e). The load
was applied to the specimen on end-grain surfaces. The edges of the specimen were vertical
and the end rest evenly on the support over the contact area. The load was run continuously
throughout the test at a rate motion of the movable crosshead 0.6 mm/min.
Hardness Strength
The hardness test was carried out using the modied ball test with a ball 11.3 mm in diameter.
The projected area of the ball on the test specimen was 1 cm2 . The load was recorded at which
46
3.2. Methodology
the ball has penetrated to one half its diameter. This test was done on 50x50x150 mm specimens
(Figure 3.9f). Two sides were tested for each specimen, one at tangential surface and another at
radial surface.
Compression Strength Parallel to Grain
Compression strength parallel to grain was carried out on 25x25x100 mm specimen (Figure
3.9g) and the load was applied through a metal bearing plate 50 mm in width placed across the
upper surface of the specimen at equal distances from the ends and right angles to the length.
It was applied continuously throughout the test at a rate of motion of the movable crosshead of
0.305 mm/min.
Tension Strength Parallel to Grain
The tension strength parallel to grain was conducted on the specimen of the size and shape
accordance with Figure 3.9h. The load was applied continuously throughout the test at a rate of
1 mm/min.
Tension Perpendicular to Grain
The tension strength perpendicular to grain was conducted on the specimen of the size and
shape accordance with Figure 3.9i. The load was applied continuously throughout the test at a
rate of 2.5 mm/min.
Cleavage Strength
The cleavage test was carried out on specimens of the form and size in accordance with Figure
3.9j. The load was applied continuously throughout the test at a rate of 2.5 mm/min.
Nail Withdrawal
This test was carried out on specimen of the form and size as shown in Figure 3.9k. Nails
used for withdrawal tests were 2.5 mm in diameter with bright diamond point of nails. All
nails was cleaned before use to remove any coating or surface lm that might be present as a
result of manufacturing operations. Each nail was used only once. The nail was driven at right
angle to the face of the specimen to a total penetration of 32 mm. Two nails were driven on a
tangential surface, two on a radial surface and one on end. In general, nails should not be driven
closer than 19 mm from the edge or 38 mm from the end of a piece. Two nails on a radial or
tangential surface were not be driven in line with each other or less than 50 mm apart. The load
was applied continuously throughout the test at a rate of motion of the movable crosshead of 2
mm/min.

3.2. Methodology
3.2.3.3 Machinery Properties

The investigation and evaluation of machinery properties of oil palm wood was done by the
responsible person who has good credibility and sufcient experiences in evaluating machining
or wood-working properties of woods. Therefore, the testing was done under controlling and
monitoring the competent person. This study was conducted at Bogor Agricultural University,
West Java, Indonesia. The machinery properties testings were evaluate under supervising by
Dr. Wayan Darmawan1 . The machinery properties were tested referring to ASTM Standard D
1666-90 [7]. This methods cover procedures for cross cutting, planning, shaving, moulding and
boring. The material for testing was in the form of lumber with various specimen sizes depend
on the applied testings.
According to the above mentioned standard, the specimen size for machining test was 100 cm
in length by 10 cm in width by 5 cm in thick, with the average moisture content of about 8%
and they were taken from different trunk height (1; 3 and 5 m) and wood zoning (inner, central
and peripheral zone).
Several machining tests of wood were conducted in this study, comprising:
Cross cutting was carried out using rotary-bandsaw under the condition of spindle speed
450 rpm, speed 2 m/min with the cutting length and thick of about 100 and 20 mm,
respectively.
Planning was conducted using Thicknezer machine under condition of spindle 3000 rpm,
speed 2 m/min with planning thickness 2 mm.
Shaving and Moulding were conducted using Shaper machine under condition of spindle
speed 5500 rpm, speed 2 m/min with grove and thickness of 12 and 10 mm, respectively. The grove and moulding were cut parallel to grain.
Boring was done using a single-spindle electric machine equipped with power feed. The
bit was about 25 mm size of the single-twist, solid-center brad point and the sharpening
lightly at intervals of not more that 1 hour of work. The borer was run at a spindle of 3600
rpm and the rate of boring was reached low enough to enable the drill to cut the rather
than tear through the specimen. Two holes were bored for each specimen.

3.2. Methodology
3.2.4 Experimental Data Analysis

The experimental data was calculated and analyzed using the statistical data analysis for better interpretation and understanding of the wood properties of oil palm. The statistical data
analysis was run using help of the computer statistical program, namely SPSS v15.0 [78] [70].
Mathematical and statistical analysis were designed used depend on the experiment condition.
Therefore, one to the other analysis was different.
Generally, complete randomized design analysis of variance (ANOVA) was chosen in this study
and refer to the research frame (see Figure 3.5). Several analysis were also used to asses the
treatment condition and in comparison to the untreated wood specimen, such as compare mean,
analysis of variance and continued with the analysis of post-hoc test through the Duncans or
Thamhanes tests [32].
In Section 4.1.2, the obtained data was analyzed to determined the position of every zone from
central point to the outer part of the trunk and dening the border line values of each zone on
the basis of distribution of vascular bundles population density. The vascular bundle population
density means that the number of vascular bundles in certain area at transverse section of the
trunk. According to the original condition of the trunk, number of vascular bundles increases
from the central point to the outer part, therefore, the compare mean analysis through the homogeneity test was used to examine the homogeneity data, previously. Then, the analysis of
variance was carried out to dene the mean values of vascular bundle population density in
certain area of sampling at certain position. This was analyzed by F-test or probability analysis.
In order to dene the position of inner, central and peripheral zones, the analysis was continued with the Post-Hoc multiple comparison test. There are two alternatives in this test, if the
variance of vascular bundles density is equal at certain positions, then the Post-Hoc test was
analyzed using Least Signicant Different test or Duncans test. If it is not equal or unequal,
the Post-Hoc test was analyzed using Tamhanes T2 test.
In Section 4.2, the obtained experimental data was analyzed using ANOVA analysis and continued with the regression analysis in order to investigate the distribution and relation of oil
palm properties (physical, mechanical and machinery) at different height and depth positions of
the trunk. In Section 4.3, the reinforcement data was analyzed using Completely randomized
factorial design analysis to investigate the inuence of level of bioresin treatment to the wood
properties of oil palm.

4.1 Characteristics Oil Palm Wood

This study was emphasis in the detail investigation with regards to anatomical of oil palm wood
and determination of wood zoning of oil palm wood at transverse sectional view. The anatomical of oil palm wood was conducted both macroscopic and microscopic observations. Special
attention on microscopic structure of oil palm wood was paid to provide the sufcient information of its wood components, such as vascular bundle, bre and parenchymatous cell structures.
This was carried out using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Early work in anatomical aspects of some species of palms has been reported by Parthasaranthy
and Klotz [82], further the characteristics of oil palm stem has been conducted by Choon et al.
[21], basically Hartley [53] has also investigated the development of the stem and stem apex.
Whilst, determination of wood zoning of oil palm wood at transverse section was done to dene
its zone based on the population of vascular bundles toward the central point of the trunk. This
study was particularly to improve its homogeneity in production of oil palm lumber concerning
very heterogenous properties of this wooded material.

Chapter 4. Results and Discussion
4.1. Characteristics Oil Palm Wood
4.1.1 Macroscopic Oil Palm Wood Structure

Macroscopic characteristics are the features which are visible with the naked eyes or using a
magnifying glass with capability of magnifying 2-3 times. According to the visual observation
of oil palm wood, the trunk shape at transverse section is normally circular and two parts may
be distinguished e.g. the main part of the trunk and the cortex and bark, as shown in Figure 4.1.
Main part
Cortex
Bark
Fig. 4.1: Oil palm trunk at transverse section consists of the main part of the trunk and the cortex
and bark
Concentrating on the main part of oil palm wood at transverse section, this part consists of
brownish to blackish points or dots and they spread over the trunk. This component was intensively increasing in quantity from central point to outer part and predicted as main component
to support structural features of the trunk. According to Parthasarathy and Klotz in 1976, it is
namely vascular bundle. Visual observation on dried sample resulted that wood colour from
central to outer part degraded from brownish to blackish. This occur caused of different population density of vascular bundles toward the central point. It can be predicted the reasons why
the oil palm wood has different physical and mechanical properties toward the central point, as
mentioned by Bakar et al. [10][9], Killmann and Choon [65], and Lim and Khoo [73]. Because of this wood structural system, in drying process, the wood defects are mostly occurred
between vascular bundles and parenchymatous tissues. According visual investigation by both
air-drying (under shelter) and kiln-drying were identied that the wood was suffer from various
defects, such as collapse, twisting, warping, check and raised grain, especially the area around
central point of the trunk.
No pith was observed, but further in order to analysis requirement of the trunk, the pith1 was
dened as central point of the trunk. Cortex wide was approx. 24.9 mm ranging from 15 to 31
(Table 4.1). This component attached at the outer part of the trunk which composed of ground
parenchyma and longitudinal brous strands. On the basic of wood zoning determination (see
1
pith is addressing to the term of center point of the trunk, because naturally this palm does not have a pith
54
Section 4.2), main part of wood was divided into three different zone, e.g. inner zone (IZ),
central zone (CZ) and peripheral zone (PZ) consider to their population density of vascular
bundles per unit area.
Peripheral zone is located at the outer part of the trunk, before bark and cortex. It was the
hardest part of the trunk. This zone normally comprises high amount of wood bres in the
form of vascular bundles system, which is essential for supporting the structural features,
such as mechanical strength of the standing trees. The vascular bundles in this zone were
congested and the space or area of parenchymatous tissue was less narrow than the others
zones. The vascular bundles orientation in this zone was oriented to the center point of
the trunk, as shown in Figure 4.2, but it was only 10 to 15 mm in thickness and based on
visual observation, this part was usually darker than the other parts.
Central zone is comprised slightly larger and wider vascular bundles and area of this zone is
larger compared to the others zones. Almost more than 50% of total area of the trunk at
transverse sectional view belong to this zone. The orientation of vascular bundles in this
zone was random.
Inner zone is only 20 to 25% of the total area and it consisted high content of parenchyma
cells and moisture. The number vascular bundles in this zone was fewer in comparison
with the others two zone, but their size and orientation were similar with vascular bundles
in central zone.

Furthermore, regarding the orientation of vascular bundles over cross section, most of vascular
bundles were oriented randomly, except at the outer part of the trunk under bark. Therefore,
on the basic of this condition, mechanical properties investigation in Section 4.3.2 was not
considered to the vascular bundles orientation. Due to the vascular bundles population at cross
sectional view, the average value of vascular bundle population at inner, central and peripheral zone were about 25.2; 45.8 and 97.5 vb/cm2 , respectively. Further discussion about this
population is presented in Section 4.2.
The oil palm wood surfaces at various sectional view can be observed based on their sawing
directions, as shown in Figure 4.3. At least, there were three different wood surfaces, except
wood surface under the bark, i.e.:
55
Cross surface, produced by sawing the oil palm trunk with the sawing direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the trunk,
Tangential surface, produced by sawing he oil palm trunk with sawing direction perpendicular to the vascular bundles orientation in peripheral zone,
Radial surface, produced by sawing he oil palm trunk with sawing direction parallel to the
vascular bundles orientation in peripheral zone.
direction to center point
In green condition oil palm wood colour was yellowish, but brownish in dry condition. Transverse section of the trunk did not have a uniform colour, commonly the peripheral part was
darker colour that the inner part. This is contradiction in comparison with softwood or hardwood, where the inner part (heartwood) is mostly darker than the peripheral part (sapwood).
Dried wood was very lightweight compared to green wood condition. This was initially that
wood consists very high content of moisture. Physical investigation in Section 4.3.1.1 resulted
that moisture content of oil palm wood varies depend on its wood regions or zones at transverse
sectional view.

4.1.2 Microscopic Oil Palm Wood Structure

This work presents a detailed wood anatomical overview of oil palm. In this part the discussion
is concentrated on the anatomical of oil palm wood structure under microscopic observations.
Special emphasis is paid in microscopic anatomy of wood using light microscopy and scanning
electron microscopy. Three main components of wood structure are observed and discussed,
including vascular bundle, bre and parenchymatous cell.
4.1.2.1 Vascular Bundle Structure
Vascular bundles are the main component of oil palm wood that supporting the structural features of the trunk. Detail structure of this component only visible under microscope, but it was
still clearly identied by a hand lens for initial observation. Based on visual investigation under
light microscope, vascular bundle consists of one or two large vessels in peripheral zone and
two to three vessels in central and inner zones, as shown in Figure 4.4(a) and 4.4(b). In this
gure was also identied that one or two smaller vessels divided into two parts. Large vessels
with very thick vessel-wall was predicted as main component which responsible for transporting the nutrient. This was in agreement with the result from Lim and Khoo [73]. The number of
vascular bundles decreased toward the central point or radial direction2 , as shown in Figure 4.16
and uctuated from bottom to top of the trunk, as identied from the obtained data in Table 4.6
(see Section 4.2). From this data, it also can be observed that the population density of vascular
bundles per unit area was signicantly different toward the central point or inner zone. Referring to this nding, it is necessary to use the oil palm wood separately based on its position at
transverse section.

More detail about oil palm wood structures, particularly vascular bundle structure is presented
in Figure 4.5. The photograph was produced using SEM and from this picture, it is easily
recognized and identied the existence of parenchymatous ground tissue, bres, and vessels.
The empty area near three large vessels was phloem cell area, but these phloem cells was broken
during sample preparation. Vascular bundle was surrounded by parenchymatous ground tissue,
therefore, the wood material from this species is not comparable to the woods which produced
from both dicotyledons and gymnosperms species which are developed from the secondary
xylem. Generally, three types of parenchyma cells were found in this study, i.e. spherical,
rectangular and elongated cells. Near the large vessels, it was also founded several smaller cells
and grouped together like a cluster, which usually separated into two clusters. Referring to Lim
and Khoo [73] result, this component is mentioned as satellite bundles.
Further, the bres component was distinguished and spread or scattered over the vascular bundles and lled the area surrounded by parenchyma cells. Structure of bres in this area was
similar to the common wood, which comprises of lumen, cell wall, and pith as well. Their
arrangement was also similar to normal wood structure. Phloem cells were distinguished as
strand with mostly triangular shape and located between vessels and bres.
Looking at longitudinal direction3 of vascular bundle, it was easily to identify how large the
diameter of vessel in comparison to bres and parenchyma cells, as shown in Figure 4.6. These
large vessel connected endwise to form a pipe-like structure and in radial direction, this component was attached and connected together with bres. Vascular bundles were mostly arranged
vertical or parallel to the length of the trunk, but oblique vascular bundles were also found,
commonly in radial surface, as can be observed in Figure 4.3c.

4.1.2.2 Fibre Structure
Fibres of oil palm wood spread or scattered over the vascular bundles and lled the area surrounded by parenchyma cells. Fibres have closed end, mostly pointed. The arrangement of
bres in this area was almost similar to the structure of common woods (softwood and hardwood 4 ), which comprises of lumen, cell wall, and pits. Transverse sectional view of oil palm
bres is presented in Figure 4.7, where the bres attached one to the others in very compact
formation. Various in sizes and shapes were distinguished, e.g. spherical, triangular and rectangular. Particularly, bres which located close to large vessels were observed as elongated bres,
as shown in Figure 4.5. The presence of pits also identied at bre wall as well as companion
cells. The walls might be thick or thin and the small or large lumina. The primary function of
bres was predicted to provide mechanical support to the living oil palm tree, especially in the
peripheral zone or the area near the bark.

More detail visualization of bre structure with walls formation is presented in Figure 4.8,
which produced by SEM photography. Cell-wall was composed of three layers, which they
designated as intercellular layer or popularly known as middle lamella, primary wall, secondary
wall and warty layer is toward the cell lumen. Intercellular layer, like mortar cement brick
between one bre to the others. Tsoumis [93] stated that this component composed high content
of lignin and further, Halimahton and Rashih [52] mentioned that the oil palm wood consist of

Softwood is produced by conifers and hardwood by broad-leaved species. Botanically, conifer species belongs
to Gymnosperms and broad-leaved species to Angiosperms (Dicotyledons), whilst oil palm wood belongs to
Angiosperms, class Monocotyledons [61].

lignin in high percentage, approx. 19%. Pit was found visible in the secondary wall. It was
predicted to serve as passages of communication between neighboring cells.

Looking at longitudinal direction (Figure 4.9), the bres of oil palm wood were arranged parallel to the length of the trunk as shown in Figure 4.9(a), whilst the arrangement of bres was
distinguished in Figure 4.9(b), as macerated a piece of vascular bundle. The dimension of oil
palm bres at various trunk height in comparison with bres which were taken from empty fruit
bunch and oil palm fronds is presented in Table 4.2. Length of oil palm wood bre was about
2.04 mm, ranging from 1.9 to 2.1 with average diameter of approx. 26.1 m, ranging from 22
to 30. It is identied that the bre diameter was gradually decreased from the but end to the top
of the trunk.
The average values of lumen diameter and wall thickness were about 12.5 m and 6.8 m,
respectively. Fibre from oil palm wood (2.04 mm) was longer in comparison with oil palm
frond bre (1.4 mm) and empty fruit bunch bre (0.66 mm) as well as the bre diameter was
also larger. Further, wall thickness of oil palm wood bres were almost 50% thicker than EFB
and OPF.

4.1.2.3 Vessel Structure

According to the vascular bundle structure which is presented in Figure 4.4 and 4.5, the presence of large vessel varies from one to three vessels. The term of large vessel here is the
tracheary elements of vascular bundle. The extensive surveys of tracheary elements in palms is
conducted by Tomlinson [92] and Bierhorst and Zamora [13]. Further, Parthasarathy and Klotz
[82] reported that the vascular bundle of the stem of palms, the cluster of traceary elements
display a gradation in morphology from protoxylem through early to late metaxylem. The end
walls of the tracheary element exhibit an increasing degree of evolutionary specialization, i.e.
they become decreasingly tracheid-like. The protoxylem tracheary elements and some of the
narrow early metaxylem elements almost always appear to be tracheids, whereas the remaining
narrow metaxylem elements and the wide late metaxylem elements show varying degrees of
specialization, depending on the organ and the species.
Regarding the detailed oil palm wood structure, the vascular bundles of oil palm wood contain
one, two or more than two wide metaxylem tracheary elements in transverse section, depending
on the position of the bundle within the trunk. It was indicated that this component increases
in number toward the central point of the trunk. In size, the tracheary elements were vary from
short to long vessels. Parthasarathy and Klotz [82] stated that it was ranging from 0.1 mm to
more than 1 cm in length, and from 0.02 mm to nearly 0.5 mm in width. Whilst, Tsoumis [93]
mentioned that vessel members particularly in earlywood of ring-porous hardwoods are mostly
massive wood cells. Some are more short than wide, it ranging from in average length from 0.2
to 1.3 mm and diameters may vary from 0.005 to 0.5 mm. Figure 4.10 showed the longitudinal
direction view of vessel elements and how the two tracheary elements were connected. The
perforation plate5 was distinguished with the angle approx. 45 as well as closely spaced bars.

Furthermore, the isolated metaxylem tracheary element is presented in Figure 4.11. The simple
perforation plates occupy the nearly transverse end walls. The cell wall of this element was
net-like. The end walls of this element closely spaced bars on very oblique end walls.

4.1.2.4 Parenchyma Cell Structure

Parenchyma cells of oil palm wood were mostly in the form of spherical cell with thin-walled
and brick-like in formation, but in the narrow space or area between vascular bundles, they were
commonly as elongated cells and oval-cells. These cells were functioned as the ground tissue
that make up the bulk of oil palm wood structures and used as storage of food. Physically, this
tissue was like spongy and moist in green condition and very lightweight and easy to separate
one cell to the others. Due to the starch content in oil palm wood, it attributed to the fact that
parenchyma cells also might be lled with starch. Figure 4.12 showed more detail the structure
of parenchyma cells. Many pits were observed on the primary cell wall, which functioned for
water or nutrient transport purposes.

Based on this fact, it is logically accepted why ground parenchymatous tissue was very hygroscopic. It was easy to evaporate when the temperature is rising and also easily to absorb the
moisture in high humidity condition. This behaviour also answered why the moisture of dried
oil palm wood still not stable, like what Balfas reported [11]. According to scanning electron
64
microscopy of parenchyma cells in Figure 4.13, it was distinguished easily the presence of pits
on the primary cell-wall.

4.2. Oil Palm Wood Zoning
4.2 Oil Palm Wood Zoning

As monocotyledonous species, the oil palm wood structure is quite different compared to normal wood, either hardwood or softwood. Looking at transverse sectional view of the oil palm
wood, the structure consist of bres in the form of vascular bundle system and ground parenchymatous cells. In 1985, Killmann and Choon [65] published their experimental result and it stated
that the oil palm stem is divided into three zones, i.e. inner, central and peripheral zones. One
year later, Lim and Khoo [73] reported that the distribution of brous strands depends on the
number of bundles present. They further stated that the number of vascular bundles per unit
area decrease towards the inner zone and increase from the butt end to the top of the palm.
Based of the above mentioned oil palm wood structure, there is great variation of density values
at different part of the trunk. Density value range from 200 to 600 kg/m3 with an average
density 370 kg/m3 [73]. Its clearly understood that this condition affect to the properties of
oil palm wood, both physical and mechanical. Killmann and Choon [65] further stated that the
mechanical properties of oil palm wood reect the density variation observed both in radial as
well as in vertical directions. Unfortunately, this condition caused many difculties in wood
working processes.
In order to improve the homogeneity of lumber produced from oil palm tree, an effective sawing
pattern shall be designed on the basis of oil palm wood condition, such as wood structure,
distribution of vascular bundle and also distribution of wood density along the trunk.
Focusing on zone determination, the mathematical and statistical analysis were calculated and
applied to achieve the representative result, respectively. The mathematical analysis was generated to dene number and position of representative samplings on the transverse section of
the trunk. The complete mathematical analysis is presented in Appendix B. According to this
analysis, the number of sampling and distance for each samplings series at sample wood disk is
summarized in Table 4.3.

All the sampling in this table has already achieved the Assumption 1 and 2 (see Sub-section
3.2.2.1). Further to dene the distribution of vascular bundles, the spherical samplings were
66
drawn from the central point to the outer part (bark) of the trunk over the transverse section as
shown in Figure 3.7 (see Appendix B).
The distribution of vascular bundles was dened by calculating the number of vascular bundles
per certain unit area at transverse section. The Figure 3.7 is presented how the representative
sample and data were collected. In this case, it was calculated per square centimeter (cm2 ).
Regarding the sampling series, it can be stated that the number of sampling for each series (nsr )
is depends on the radius size of the trunk without bark (rf b ) (refer to Eq. B.7) and the distance
of one sampling series to another (m ) depends on the number of sampling series that can be
drawn at transverse section (refer to Eq. B.21). Based on the obtained result, the number of
vascular bundles per unit area increases from central point to the bark, both for sample Trunk-1
and Trunk-2 as shown in Figure 4.14 and 4.15, respectively. The trend-lines of vascular bundles
distribution at different height positions (12 height positions) were also similar between these
two sample trunks as shown in Figure 4.16.
According to the statistical analysis using compare means through the independent sample tTest, the average vascular bundles population for Trunk-1 and Trunk-2 (Table 4.4) were about
54.6 and 55.1 vb/cm2 , respectively. Further, the variances of these populations were similar
with the probability of about 0.738 (p > 0.05) and from the t-Test result in Table 4.5 through
equal variances assumed analysis, it is attributed to the fact that the means population of vascular bundles for these trunks were insignicantly different at level 0.05 with the probability
value 0.966. On the basic of this ndings, it can be stated that the vascular bundles distribution
along the trunk height of oil palm tree in the same variety (DxP) from the bottom to the top of
the trunk was identical.

Referring to Figure 4.16, the relations between position and the number of vascular bundles per
certain area for the selected two sample trunks were mathematically expressed by the following
regression formulas:
Yt1 = 0.642x2 4.079x + 34.18, R2 = 0.978
(4.1)
Yt2 = 0.637x2 3.242x + 28.37, R2 = 0.975
(4.2)
Referring to the above equations, it can be stated that the relation between variable (distance
or position from pith) and response (number of vascular bundles/cm2 ) was very strong, it
is showed by the high R-value, approx. 0.989 and 0.987 for sample Trunk-1 and Trunk-2,
respectively. Furthermore, the lowest and highest population of vascular bundles were about
26.7 and 119.6 vb/cm2 (vascular bundles per square centimeter) for sample Trunk-1 and for
sample Trunk-2 of about 21.2 and 128.6 vb/cm2 , respectively. Summarized from this analysis,
the vascular bundle position is indicated as an important factor to dene the zone of oil palm
wood. By applying this result, the position of each zone was further examined by statistical
analysis, which is explained in Appendix C.
The summarized results of statistical analysis from the above mentioned appendix for oil palm
sample Trunk-1 and Trunk-2 are presented in Table 4.6 and 4.7. In these tables, the oil palm
wood zoning was symbolized using columnar-table. The columnar-1; columnar-2 and columnar3 were marked for inner zone (IZ), central zone (CZ) and peripheral zone (PZ), respectively.

According to this experiment, it can be summarized that the distribution of vascular bundles
was increased from central point of the trunk toward the bark. Three different wood zoning
were dened, i.e. inner zone (IZ), central zone (CZ) and peripheral zone (PZ). The average
population of vascular bundles at inner, central and peripheral zone were approx. 26; 46 and
97 vb/cm2 , respectively. Furthermore, by transforming the population of vascular bundles into
their positions, it can be stated that the position of inner, central and peripheral zone at the
transverse section was approx. 39 mm ranging from 27 to 49 mm; 131 mm ranging from 115
to 137 mm and 166 mm ranging from 151 to 172 mm from the central point of the trunk,
respectively.
Finally, the performance of oil palm wood zoning, both sample Trunk-1 and Trunk-2 are presented in three dimensional views. This was generated using computer language program,
called FORTRAN. The resulted oil palm wood zoning is presented in Figure 4.19. This gure

4.3. Properties of Oil Palm Wood
4.3 Properties of Oil Palm Wood

Several physical properties of oil palm trunk were investigated in this study, e.g. moisture,
density and volumetric shrinkage. The moisture content of wood was measured on the basic of
trunk height and wood zoning factors at green condition after felling the trees and also at dry
condition after drying the obtained lumber in the local drying company. Further, the density
of oil palm wood was determined similar to the experimental design in moisture measurement.
The shrinkage was also investigated to study the dimensional changes of the wood after drying
process. It was only observed in volumetric shrinkage, due to the irregular shape of dried-wood
specimen.
Mechanical properties of oil palm wood were discussed in detail for untreated-wood (UW) and
treated wood with bioresin (WB) on the basic of their position along the trunk and different
wood zoning (inner, central and peripheral zone). Whilst, the machinery properties were also
carried out to investigate the machining features of oil palm wood based on the free surface
defect of wood. Several testings were conducted including cross cutting, planning, shaving and
moulding, and boring test.
4.3.1 Physical Properties of Oil Palm Wood
In order to understand the physical behaviors and performances of oil palm wood, it is necessary
to consider rst some of the basic properties of wood which are affecting to its oil palm wood
properties. In this section, some of importance physical properties of oil palm wood were
investigated and discussed, such as moisture content, density and volumetric shrinkage. All
of properties studied was investigated on the basic of its position along the trunk (trunk height
factor) and trunk depth or refer to its wood zoning.
4.3.1.1 Moisture Content of Oil Palm Wood
Wood is formed in an essentially water-saturated environment in the living tree, and the cell wall
remains in this state until the water ow from the roots is interrupted, such as by felling the tree.
The wood then begins to lose most of its moisture by drying, resulting in change in most of its
properties. Skaar [89] stated that the wood moisture content at the time of felling or harvesting is
called the green moisture content. It may change between the time of felling and processing into
lumber or other products depending on exposure time, climatic conditions, kind, age, and size
of the tree, and on whether or not foliage is left on the tree for some time after felling. Relating
to the oil palm wood, water is one of the highest content of wood components. According to
the investigation in this study, the obtained result showed that the moisture content (MC) of oil
palm wood in green condition (after felling) can be reached more than 500% with total average
of about 304%, ranging from 123 to 531% (Figure 4.20). The complete data of moisture content
of each zone is presented in Table D.1, D.2 and D.3, respectively (see Appendix D).
It is possible because the moisture content is expressed as percentage of the dry weight of
the wood, and not of the total weight. Therefore, it is possible to have moisture content of
well over 100%. Due to the oil palm wood zoning, the obtained result can be stated that the
moisture content was gradually increased from the bottom to the top of the trunk height and
it decreased from the central point to the outer part of the trunk. The inner zone has higher

moisture content compared to the other two zones. These ndings were in agreement with the
result from Killmann and Choon in 1985 [65]. The average MC of oil palm wood at IZ, CZ
and PZ were approx. 368, 312 and 232%, respectively. Looking at the transverse section of
the trunk, this trends also logically accepted, due to the distribution of the vascular bundles,
where from inner zone to peripheral zone, the population of vascular bundles was drastically
increased from 26.2 to 97.5 vb/cm2 (see Table 4.6), respectively. In addition, Skaar [89] stated
that the green moisture content of wood varies considerably among kinds of trees, between
heartwood and sapwood in the same tree, and even between logs cut from different heights
in the tree. Therefore, the nding in this oil palm wood investigation resulted that it is also
in conformity with Skaars statement. Specically, in oil palm, it was happened not only at
different trunk height, but also at the same height, the moisture content looking at transverse
section was varies between one wood zone to the others. The MC at inner zone was one and
half greater than peripheral zone, ranging from 123 to 384%. Whilst, the range of MC at central
zone was almost covering the other two zones, ranging from 185 to 531%.
Additionally, the moisture content of the frond and leaves were tabulated and analyzed from
43 sample of fronds and divided into three parts for each sample. Therefore, there were 129
samples for frond and also for leaves. The mean values for frond and leaves of oil palm were
233.5% (range 178.9 to 291.6) and 29.9%, ranging from 7.31 to 67.18%, respectively. The
average moisture content of oil palm root in green condition was very low. It was about 4.9%,
ranging from 3.6 to 6.3%. The complete data of moisture content of frond, leaves and root are
presented in Table D.4 and D.5, D.6, respectively (see Appendix D).
Regarding to investigate the wood properties of oil palm, all the specimens were tested in dry
77
condition with the MC value below 12%. The moisture content of dried wood specimens at
different zones and heights is presented in Table 4.10. All the moisture values were in agreement with the ASTM and DIN standard requirement for physical, mechanical and machinery
properties investigations.

4.3.1.2 Density of Oil Palm Wood

Specic gravity and wood density are expressions of how much wood substance is present in
given volume of wood. Zobel and Buijtenen [98] stated in their reviewed that wood specic
gravity is the ratio of the weight of a given volume of wood to the weight of an equal volume
of water at 4 C, therefore, it is a unitless measure. Whilst, wood density is a ratio of the dry
weight of wood to its volume. It is measured in unit such as kilogram per cubic meter or pound
per cubic foot. Referring to this denition, the oil palm wood density was determined at dry
condition. In this experiment, the specimen was dried at kiln drying until achieving the moisture
content less than 12%. The density of oil palm wood at three different zones at various trunk
height is presented in Figure 4.21. According to the obtained results in Table D.7, D.8 and D.9
(see Appendix D.1), the summarized wood density at inner zone and central zone of oil palm
wood were about 0.18 g/cm3 , ranging from 0.16 to 0.19 and 0.20 g/cm3 , ranging from 0.17 to
0.23, respectively. Whilst, the density at peripheral zone was higher compared to the other two
zones. It was about 0.40 g/cm3 , ranging from 0.37 to 0.43.
Concerning to the density distribution of oil palm wood at transverse section, the relation between wood density and wood zoning of oil palm is expressed in Figure 4.22. The density
values were gradually increasing from the inner zone to the peripheral zone. This trend was
similar for all positions of the trunk height. Based on this performance, the relation between
wood zoning and density was expressed by the following trend-line:
y = 0.085x2 0.235x + 0.328; R2 = 0.961
(4.3)
Referring to the above equation, the relation between wood zoning and density value was highly
signicant, which expressed by the high value of correlation coefcient (R=0.98). This was also
indicated to the fact that wood zoning of oil palm at transverse section confers very signicant
inuence to the wood density. The differences of density value at one zone to the others were
depended on its position over the transverse section. This result also in agreement with the
results of determination of oil palm zone which was explained in Section 4.1.2.

Regarding the relation between density and wood structure, Tsoumis [93] explained that the
density of wood is a measure of the quantity of cell-wall material contained in a certain volume,
and is an index of void volume. Kollmann and Cot [68] calculated this relationship through
the following formula:

ro
C = 1
x 100
(4.4)
rw
Where, C=proportion of void volume (% of total volume); ro =oven-dry density (g/cm3 ) and
rw =density of cell-wall material (g/cm3 ).
If rw = 1.503 , the relationship becomes: C (%) = 100 66.7ro . Void volume varies from
95% in very light woods to about 10% in very heavy woods. Tsoumis [93] further stated that
differences in density and void volume derive from anatomical differences, such as differences
in cell types (tracheid, vessel members, parenchyma cells) and their quantitative distribution,
thickness of cell walls and size of cell cavities.
Referring to the above statement of Tsoumis, the obtained result of oil palm wood density
distribution was in agreement, where the density was gradually increase from the inner zone to
the peripheral zone. This is caused of the differences in distribution and quantity of vascular
bundles from the central point to the outer part of the trunk. According to the Eq. 4.4, if the
average oven-dry density of oil palm wood 0.26 g/cm3 , the void volume of oil palm wood was
about 82.67%, hence the oil palm wood is a very light wood species.
Furthermore, regarding to analysis the relation between wood zoning and the trunk height affecting to the wood density of oil palm, statistical analysis was carried out using the randomized
complete factorial design analysis. The condition of this analysis runs at 3 different wood zoning (inner, central and peripheral) and 5 different trunk height (1; 3; 5; 7; and 9 meter), with
10 times replication for each variable combination, thus, there were totaly 150 samples. These
two factors were then analyzed to observe their relation affecting to the density of wood as a
response. The statistical analysis results are divided into three parts (see Appendix E.1), i.e.:
1. Univariate analysis of wood density variance including post hoc test of homogeneous
subsets for wood zoning and trunk height,
2. One way analysis of wood density variance including post hoc test of homogeneous for
each zone at various trunk height positions,
3. Regression analysis of wood density based on wood zoning and trunk height.
On the basic of data in Table E.1, the univariate analysis test of variance between subject effect
was examined to investigate the inuence of wood zoning, trunk height and also interaction
between them to density value of the oil palm wood. The result showed that both wood zoning
and trunk height factors were signicantly different at level 0.05 in affecting to density of wood,
but their interaction was not signicant. The probability of those factors and their interaction
were about 4.09x1056 and 4.1x1003 ; and 9.02x1002 , respectively. According to post hoc
test result, the data populations of density value were grouped into one subset based on their
similarity. According the obtained Duncans test in Table E.2, there are three different subsets
3
The density of the material that constitutes the cell walls is practically constant, about 1.50 g/cm3 on the basis
of oven-dry weight (mass) and volume [93]
80
for wood density, which were done on the basic of wood zoning. It was indicated to the fact
that wood density between one zone to the others was signicantly different at level 0.05. The
average value of wood density in subsets 1, 2 and 3 were about 0.18; 0.20 and 0.40 g/cm3 ,
respectively. Whilst, based on trunk height (Table E.3), it was only grouped into two subsets,
but the second subset was still possible to separate into two groups, i.e. wood density value at
trunk height 1 to 3 meter and 5 to 7 meters. These subsets were also statistically signicant at
level 0.05.
Further, the analysis was continued to investigate the inuence of each factor, both wood zoning
and trunk height in affecting to wood density of oil palm. This was done through the one way
analysis of variance, including post hoc test of homogeneous test. The results in Table E.4
showed that the distribution of mean value of wood density at various trunk height (1, 3, 5,
7 and 9 meter) in inner zone (IZ) was similar to distribution in central zone (CZ). Both of
them were divided into three subsets and also signicantly different at level 0.05. Whilst, this
distribution within various trunk height in peripheral zone (PZ) was not signicantly different.
The probability was about 0.222 or p > 0.05.
By applying the above results, the classication of wood density was conducted on the basic of
their similarity values and also referred to the statistical analysis results. Classication of wood
density of oil palm is presented in Figure 4.23.
In order to examine the above relation, regression analysis for factorial design was also done
through the linear regression analysis. The results of this test are presented in Table E.5, E.6, E.7
and E.8 (see Appendix E.2). The average density of oil palm wood was about 0.26 g/cm3 with
standard deviation 0.10 at total sample size 150. This regression was conducted to investigate
how well the wood zoning and trunk height predict the wood density value of oil palm. The
results were statistically signicant with probability less than 0.05 (1.42x1038 ). The identied
equation to understand this relationship was expressed in the following equation:
= 0.67 + 0.108Z 0.005H
(4.5)
Where, is wood density; Z=wood zoning and H=trunk height (m).

The adjusted R-squared value was 0.69. This indicated that 69% of the variance in wood density
of oil palm was explained by the wood zoning and trunk height, and the remaining value is
explained by another factor. According to the model summary in Table E.6, the correlation
coefcient value was approx. 0.83, therefore, its statistically signicant association between
dependent variable (wood density) and predictors (constant, trunk height and wood zoning). It
means that the dependency of wood density value to the location or position over the transverse
section was very high and this can be stated that the oil palm wood zoning become an important
factor with regards to the density of oil palm wood, and the next factor was trunk height.
Generally, it can be stated that the oil palm wood density at transverse section was gradually
increased from the inner zone to the peripheral zone, but it was slightly decreased from the
bottom to the top of the trunk. The inuence of wood zoning factor to the wood density of
oil palm was higher than the trunk height. The variances analysis of density value populations
based on wood zoning and trunk height were statistically different at level 0.05.

4.3.1.3 Volumetric Shrinkage of Oil Palm Wood
Normally, wood only shrinks when water is lost from the cell walla and it shrinks by an amount
that is proportional to the moisture lost below bre saturation point. Walker et al. [95] stated
that the amount of shrinkage depends on the basic density of the wood. Ideally, the volumetric shrinkage is measured at around 20-25% and again around 8-12% moisture content. The
volumetric shrinkage to the oven-dry state is determined by measuring the green and oven-dry
volume (see Equation 3.3).
The term of shrinkage in this study is referring to the volumetric shrinkage, due to the irregular
shape of the specimen after oven-dry process. According to the shrinkage test of oil palm wood
at various zones and height in this study, the results which are presented in Table D.10, D.11
and D.12 (see Appendix D.3) showed that the shrinkage value varies between 10.3% and 22.8%.
Shrinkage properties of oil palm wood was gradually increased from the bottom to the top of
the trunk, as shown in Figure 4.24.

Fig. 4.24: Volumetric shrinkage of oil palm wood along the trunk
The shrinkage in central zone was about 19.6% ranging from 13 to 23%, whilst the shrinkage
value in inner and peripheral zone were about 16.7% (range 11 to 20%) and 16.8% (range 10
to 23%), respectively. Looking at transverse section, the shrinkage of oil palm wood in central
zone was higher compared to inner and peripheral zones. This can be explained based on the
following conditions:
according to the presence of vascular bundle which is referring to the result in Section
4.1.2, the number of vascular bundles per unit area increases from inner zone to the peripheral zone,
83
the result in Section 4.1.2.1 mentioned that the vascular bundle in peripheral zone mainly
contains one or two wide vessels and two or three vessels with similar width in the inner
and central zones.
Hence, the higher value of shrinkage properties in central zone comparing to inner zone was
logically accepted, because although the vessel width of vascular bundle in both area are similar,
but the number of vascular bundles in central zone was higher than inner zone. Whilst, the
similar case was also happened between central and peripheral zone. In this condition, the
higher value in central zone was accepted to the fact that although the number of vascular
bundle in peripheral zone was higher than central zone, but the presence of vessels in this area
was fewer than central zone. The above condition of shrinkage properties of oil palm wood at
various trunk height was illustrated in Figure 4.25.

4.3.2 Mechanical Properties of Oil Palm Wood

The mechanical properties of wood are measures of its resistance to exterior forces which tend
to deform its mass. The resistance of wood to such forces depend on their magnitude and
the manner of loading (bending, compression, shear, tension, etc.). Due to the mechanical
properties, Tsoumis [93] stated that wood exhibits different mechanical properties in different
growth directions (axial, radial, tangential), therefore, it is mechanically anisotropic. According
to Bowyer et al. [15], mechanical properties are usually the most important characteristics of
wood product to be used in structural applications. A structural application is any use for which
strength is one of the primary criteria for selection of the material. Structural uses of wood
product include oor joint and rafters, structural panel roof, wall sheathing, sub ooring, and
etc.
Regarding the mechanical properties of oil palm wood, several mechanical properties were
tested in this study, including static bending (modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of
rupture (MOR)), compression parallel to grain, shear parallel to grain, tension parallel and
perpendicular to grain, hardness, cleavage and nail withdrawal. The testing was carried out
on the basis of ASTM Standard for the mechanical properties evaluation. Due to the limited
availability material of oil palm wood, the testings were conducted through the secondary test
of specimen dimension. The dimension, condition, position and number of specimen and type
of testing is presented in Table 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 (see Section 3.1.2), respectively.
The analysis of mechanical properties of oil palm wood was particularly investigated the effect of wood zoning and trunk height, impregnation time and bioresin concentration. Treatment using bioresin was divided into two experiments, i.e. heat technique and chemical technique (using acetone as organic solvent of bioresin). Therefore, the oil palm wood specimens
were grouped into three groups based on their applied treatments i.e. specimen without treatment/control or untreated wood, treated wood with bioresin using heat technique and treated
wood with bioresin using chemical (acetone) technique. Static bending (MOE and MOR),
shear parallel to grain and hardness tests were carried out under the following factors:
1. Untreated wood (UW)
Wood zoning: inner (IZ), central (CZ) and peripheral zone (PZ)
Trunk height: 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 meter above DBH
2. Treated wood with bioresin using heat technique (WBH)
Trunk height: 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 meter above DBH
Impregnation time: 150 and 300 seconds
3. Treated wood with bioresin using chemical technique (acetone) (WBA)
Trunk height: 3, 5 and 7 meter above DBH
Impregnation time: 24 and 48 hours
Bioresin concentration: 10 and 20%
85
Further, the investigation of compression strength parallel to grain, tension strength parallel and
perpendicular to grain, cleavage strength and nail withdrawal resistance were conducted under
the similar factor, but the testings were run only for oil palm wood material which was taken
from peripheral zone.
In addition, due to the original unit of force during the testing material, all the force-unit for
mechanical testing is in kilogram-force, for example unit for modulus of elasticity in kg/cm2 ,
but in order to have the value in N/mm2 , the force value can be converted into International
System of Unit (e.g. Newton (N)) by considering to the gravity-value, i.e. 9.807 [95].
4.3.2.1 Static Bending Strength
The static bending strength refers to tests performed in which a bending stress is applied to
the specimen to determine the stiffness, or modulus of elasticity (MOE) of the specimen as
well as the amount of force required to cause the specimen to fail, expressed as the modulus of
rupture (MOR). The specimen size is dependent on the testing standard used, the material type,
the original site and intended end-use of the material being tested. According to the ASTM
Standard [3] the static bending test of wood is calculated by use of its relationship with beam
size, span, load and deection. The illustration of this test is presented in Figure 4.26.

Fig. 4.26: Static bending strength test for determining modulus of elasticity and modulus of
rupture (F=load; l=length of specimen; ls=length between specimen support of the
span; d=thickness or depth of specimen; a=deection
Based on the above testing method, Hoffmann et al. [57] stated that in order to determine the
modulus of elasticity, the specimen is supported at two points the span length (ls ) and the load
F is applied in the centre of the span. The deformation during the loading process enabled the
calculation of modulus of elasticity according to the following equation:
M OE =
Fp .ls3
4.b.d3 .a
(4.6)
Where, MOE=modulus of elasticity (N/mm2 ); Fp =load at proportional limit (N); ls =length

between specimen support of the span (mm); b=width of specimen (mm); d=thickness or depth
of specimen (mm) and a=deection of the neutral plane at the proportional limit measured at
half span (mm).
86
Bending strength of wood is usually expressed in term of the modulus of rupture (MOR). The
MOR is calculated from the maximum load or load at failure in a bending test, using the same
testing procedure for determining the MOE. Bowyer et al. [15] calculated the MOR using the
classic exure formula:
Bs =
M.c
I
(4.7)
Where, M=maximum moment; c=the distance from the neutral axis to the extreme bre (usually
half of the depth) and I=moment of inertia.
Further he stated that when using a test specimen with rectangular cross section, the exure
formula reduce to the Equation 4.8. This equation is valid only when rectangular beam is freely
supported at both ends and is loaded at the center of the span.
M OR =
(1.5).P.L
b.d2
(4.8)
Where, P=breaking (maximum) load (N ); L=distance between supports (span) (m); b=width of
the beam (m) and d=depth of beam (m).
4.3.2.1.1 The effect of wood zoning and trunk height on the static bending strength (modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) of oil palm wood (untreated
specimen)
In order to investigate the static bending of oil palm wood, the analysis of the obtained data was
conducted to examine the effect of wood zoning (inner, central and peripheral zone) and trunk
height (1, 3, 5, 7 and 7 m) to the modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture. The total number
of specimen with 3 replications for control (untreated wood), treated wood with bioresin and
treated wood with acetone was 333 pieces. The complete data of static bending test is presented
in Table F.1 (see Appendix F.1). The summarized result of static bending test including MOE
and MOR strengths for control specimens is presented in Table 4.11 and 4.12, respectively.
Modulus of Elasticity (MOE)
According to the obtained results of static bending test which is summarized in Table 4.11, looking at the transverse section of oil palm wood, it showed that the average modulus of elasticity
at inner (IZ), central (CZ) and peripheral (PZ) zones were approx. 10650, 26297 and 55913
kg/cm2 , respectively.
The MOE value at central zone was two times higher than at inner zone and it was two times
lower than at peripheral zone, therefore, it can be stated that the MOE strength at peripheral zone
was strongest compared to the others zone. This was logically accepted due to the presence of
vascular bundles decrease from outer to inner part of the trunk as shown in Figure 4.16 (see
Section 4.1.2). The distribution of MOE values for untreated wood at various wood zoning
is presented in Figure 4.27. From this gure, it showed that the MOE of oil palm wood was
increased from the inner to peripheral zone.
Looking at longitudinal section, this mechanical property was decreasing from the bottom to the
top of the trunk. This trends was also accepted to the fact that the presence of vascular bundles
decrease gradually from the bottom to the top of the trunk as shown in Figure 4.17 or 4.18
(see Section 4.1.2). The average value of MOE at various height 1; 3; 5; 7 and 9 meter were

Based on the statistical analysis test of between subject effects (Table G.3, see Appendix G.1),
it showed that the factors of wood zoning and trunk height and also interaction between them
were inuencing signicantly different at level 0.05 to the modulus of elasticity. Further, the
post hoc test using Duncan analysis was resulted that the wood zoning and trunk height factors
were then divided into three subsets as shown in Table G.4 and Table G.5 (Appendix G.1),
respectively. The MOE value at 3 and 5 meter was classied in one subset as well as at 7 and 9
meter. Generally, the statistical analysis result can be concluded that the utilization of oil palm
wood due to the needs of modulus of elasticity property, it is very important to use the wood
separately concerning wood zoning and trunk height of the oil palm trunk practically.
Furthermore, concerning the wood zoning individually, the distribution of MOE values along
the trunk for each wood zoning was analyzed consider to the allocation of oil palm wood uses for
every zone. At inner zone (IZ), the MOE values along the trunk was not signicantly different
at level 0.05 with the probability of about 0.140 (p>0.05). This can be shown in Table G.8,
where the post hoc test result of MOE values was classied into one subset only. At central
zone (CZ), the trunk height was affecting signicantly to the value of MOE with the probability
less than 0.05 (1.14x104 ), therefore, the post hoc test resulted that the MOE values were then
classied into three subsets based on their positions along the trunk as shown in Table G.11.
Whilst, at peripheral zone (PZ), the trunk height also affected statistically signicant at level
0.05, but the MOE values were classied into only two subsets, as shown in Table G.14, because
the probability (p = 2.66x104 ) at this zone was lower than at central zone. In other words, it
89
can be mentioned that both populations (at CZ and PZ) of MOE values have different variance
based on Levenes test, but the variance data at CZ was more signicant than at PZ, statistically.
Idealy, in practice, the oil palm wood based on MOE property at IZ has no signicantly different
along the trunk, but at CZ, the wood shall be used separately between 1 to 3 m and >3 to 7 m
and >7 to 9 m in height. At PZ, the wood can be used separately from 1 to 5 m and >5 to 9 m
in height.

Modulus of Rupture (MOR)

Beside the modulus of elasticity, the wood strength when the specimen reached the breaking
point and then it was not able to recovery its shape, where the load achieves its maximum
value, its called modulus of rupture (MOR). This mechanical property is one of the important
parameter which usually used for engineering purposes. Relating to the result test of MOR of oil
palm wood at different wood zones and various trunk height, the summarized data is presented
in Table 4.12.

Based on the above table, the modulus of rupture of oil palm wood was gradually increasing
from inner to peripheral zone (Figure 4.29), like MOE values, the MOR values at central zone
(189 kg/cm2 ) was also two times higher than at inner zone (84 kg/cm2 ) and two times lower in
comparison to peripheral zone (417 kg/cm2 ). The distribution of MOR value of oil palm wood
for each wood zone is presented in Figure 4.30.
On the basic of trunk height factor, the MOR value of oil palm wood was decreasing along
the trunk as shown in Figure 4.30. The average values of MOR at various height (1 to 9 m)
were about 313; 268; 261; 155 and 152 kg/cm2 , respectively. This trend was also similar like
MOE value distribution. Further, in order to investigate the effect of trunk height to this static
bending strength, the statistical analysis was carried out to examine the distribution of MOR
values along the trunk. The statistical analysis results showed that the population of MOE data
was signicantly different at level 0.05 (p = 4.39x109 ) based on Levenes test (Table G.16).
According to the test between-subject effects, the wood zoning and trunk height factors and
interaction between them were statistically different at level 0.05. Further, the post hoc test
showed that the wood zoning factor was classied into three subsets based on the region at
transverse section (Table G.18), and only two subsets classication for trunk height factor as
shown in Table G.19.
Individually, the oil palm wood at inner zone was classied into only one subset (Table G.22),
it means that no different in MOR value along the trunk at this region. Whilst, at central and
peripheral zones, the oil palm wood can be classied into two subsets (Table G.25 and G.28).
At central zone, the rst subset was only 1 to 3 m and the second subset was from 3 to 9 m. But
at peripheral zone, the classication goes from 1 to 5 m as rst subset, and more than 5 to 9 m
as second subset.
Generally, the static bending strength of oil palm wood (MOE and MOR) was increasing from
inner to peripheral zone and the similar trend also happened from the bottom to the top along the

4.3.2.1.2 The effect of wood zoning, trunk height and impregnation time on the static
bending strength (modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR)) of oil
palm wood impregnated with bioresin
In this section, the investigation of oil palm wood was done to evaluate the effect of wood zoning, trunk height and impregnation time of bioresin to the static bending strength, both MOE and
MOR. The experiment of bioresin impregnation treatment was conducted under three different
wood zoning (IZ, CZ and PZ), various trunk height (1, 3, 5, 7, 9 m) and two impregnations
time i.e. 150 and 300 seconds at temperature of bioresin 180 C. This impregnation time conditions were chosen based on preliminary result of this study. The analysis of this experiment
was focusing on how the bioresin impregnation using high temperature technique (180 C) able
to improve the static bending properties in comparison to the untreated wood (control). This
bioresin was extracted from pine (Pinus merkusii) in Aek Nauli Plantation, North Sumatra. The
complete experimental data of static bending test is presented in Table F.2, F.3, F.4, F.5, F.6
and F.7 (see Appendix F.1). The summarized result of this mechanical properties test from the
above mentioned tables is presented in Table 4.13 and 4.14.
According to the obtained data of modulus of elasticity which is presented in Table 4.13, the average MOE values of oil palm wood that treated with bioresin for 150 seconds was about 40572
kg/cm2 . Although by shifting the impregnation time into 300 seconds, the MOE value was
almost not signicantly different (38599 kg/cm2 ), indeed lower than 150 seconds. It could be
occurred probably because of high heat ow through the wood structural component (vascular
bundles) and within this period of treatment, the structural ability of wood was degraded. Generally, on the basic of wood zoning, a gradually increase in modulus of elasticity is indicated
from inner to peripheral zone as shown in Figure 4.31 and 4.32, but it was decreasing from the
bottom to the top of trunk height (Figure 4.33 and 4.34).

Based on the statistical analysis, almost all factors, both individually or interaction between
them were signicantly different at level 0.05 (Table G.30). The wood zoning was affecting
signicantly to the MOE values of the treated wood as well as trunk height factor. The post hoc
test showed that both wood zoning and trunk height were classied into three subsets (Table
G.31 and G.32). In this study, the treated wood can be used by grouping their position along
the trunk, i.e up to 1 m; >1 to 5 m and >5 to 9 m on the basic of their modulus of elasticity
strength.
Focusing on individual zone, at inner zone, the MOE values based on their positions were
classied into three subsets, i.e. 1 to 3 m; >3 to 7 m and >7 to 9 m (Table G.37). At central
zone, the MOE values distribution was more signicant, in this region they classied into four
subsets, i.e. up to 1 m; >1 to 3 m; >3 to 5 m; >5 to 9 m (Table G.42), but at peripheral zone,
this factor was grouped into two subsets only, i.e. 1 to 5 m and >5 to 9 m (Table G.47).
Concerning to the impregnation time factor, it can be stated that the bioresin treatment using
high temperature technique, both at 150 and 300 seconds was signicantly different at level 0.05
in comparison to the untreated wood (30953 kg/cm2 ) as shown in Table G.33. By dening
the effect of impregnation time for each zone, it can be stated that at inner and peripheral
zones, this factor was affecting signicantly different at level 0.05, it means that the bioresin
treatment enable to improve the MOE property of oil palm wood compare to the untreated wood.
Impregnating bioresin about 300 seconds resulted the highest value of MOE (Table G.38 and
G.48). Further, at central zone, the impregnation time was affecting signicantly different in
comparison to the untreated wood, but no signicant between treated woods those impregnating
with bioresin for 150 and 300 seconds as shown in Table G.43.
The experimental data of MOE strength of treated wood with bioresin as shown in Table 4.14
below. It can be mentioned generally that the average value of MOE for 150 and 300 seconds
of impregnation time were about 275 and 279 kg/cm2 , respectively.

Referring to the analysis of statistic (Table G.53), these value was not signicantly different,
but they were signicantly different in comparison with the untreated wood (230 kg/cm2 ) at
level 0.05. The wood zoning and trunk height factors were also affecting signicantly to the
96
modulus of elasticity, as shown in Table G.51 and G.52, where both factors were classied into
three subsets based on their variations during the experiment.
As modulus of elasticity, the obtained MOR strength also different responses for each zone and
different classications based on their position along the trunk. At inner zone, the impregnation
time factor was affected signicantly comparing to the untreated wood and also between treated
woods within 150 and 300 seconds (Table G.58). But on the basic of trunk height factor, the
MOR values at central and peripheral zones were more signicant different statistically than at
inner zone (Table G.57, G.62 and G.67). Therefore, it can be mentioned that in order to utilize
the treated oil palm woods with bioresin, referring to their modulus of rupture property, it shall
be taken into consideration to use these woods separately depends on their zones and positions
along the trunk. The obtained data of MOR values resulted the similar distribution trends like
MOE values above. The MOR strength of treated woods decrease with the trunk height and
toward the central point of the trunk, as shown in Figure 4.35, 4.36, 4.37 and 4.38, respectively.

4.3.2.1.3 The effect of wood zoning, trunk height, impregnation time and acetone concentration on the static bending strength (modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of
rupture (MOR) of oil palm wood impregnated with acetone
In this experiment, the oil palm wood was treated with bioresin soluble in acetone in various
concentration (10 and 20%) and impregnation time (24 and 48 hours). The treatment was
conducted under the condition that had achieved in preliminary experiment. The complete data
of static bending strength (MOE and MOR) is presented in Table F.8, F.9, F.10 and F.11 (see
Appenx F.1). The summarized data of these tables is presented in Table 4.15 and 4.16.
According to the obtained data of modulus elasticity test (Table 4.15), it was identied that the
average value of MOE from inner to peripheral zone was gradually increased. The trend of
this distribution was similar for all condition of the applied treatment as shown in Figure 4.39.
Further, based on the statistical analysis, the wood zoning factor was affecting signicantly
different at level 0.05 (Table G.71). It means that each region of the trunk at transverse section
has signicantly different MOE value from one zone to the others. It also can be stated that in
order to utilize this wood, it necessary to use them separately.
Looking at longitudinal direction of the trunk, the MOE values can be statistically classied into
two subsets, i.e. up to 5 m and more than 5 m, as shown in Table G.72. Generally, the MOE
values of oil palm wood were slightly decreased from the bottom to the top of the trunk. This can
be seen in Figure 4.40. Furthermore, the effect of impregnation time and acetone concentration
factors were not signicantly different, therefore these factors only grouping into one subset
only, as shown in Table G.73 and G.74. Hence, the condition at impregnation time for 24 hours
and acetone concentration of about 10% can be used to apply the bioresin treatment.
Focusing the wood zoning individually, it can be statistically stated that at inner zone, the oil
palm wood can be used classied into two subsets utilization, i.e. up to 5 m and more than 5 m
(Table G.78). The MOE value at less than 5 m height was higher in comparison to the wood at
position more than 5 m. Due to the bioresin impregnation, the impregnation time and acetone
concentration (Table G.73 and G.74) was resulted no signicantly different comparing to the
untreated wood. It means that the untreated oil palm wood at inner zone was still better than the
treated wood with bioresin soluble in acetone at any conditions of treatment. Looking at central
and peripheral zone, the MOE values distribution was also similar to the inner zone.

The experimental data in Table 4.16 showed that the modulus of rupture property was decreased
toward the central point of the trunk at transverse section view. This trend can be clearly seen
in Figure 4.41. On the other factor, this mechanical property was also slightly decrease along
the trunk as shown in Figure 4.42.
According to the statistical analysis, the wood zoning and trunk height factors were affecting
signicantly different at level 0.05. Similar to the MOE property, based on the obtained result
of MOR value, it necessary to use the oil palm wood separately based on their positions both
at transverse section and longitudinal direction as consider to statistical analysis in Table G.95
and G.96.

4.3.2.2 Shear Strength Parallel to Grain

In this study, the strength in shear was only tested in parallel to grain, it called shear parallel
to grain or simply shear parallel. The longitudinal shearing stress is present when wood is
stressed in bending, although strength in transverse shear acting on cross section is three to
four times greater than in axial shear (Bowyer, et al [15]), but Kollmann and Ct [68] stated
that this property is no practical importance, since wood fails rst axial or rolling shear than in
transverse shear. Therefore, under the inuence of shearing loads in axial direction, hence the
experimental in this study was gathered the information about the shear parallel to grain. The
oil palm wood was tested based on various treatment, such as bioresin treatment and bioresin
soluble in acetone treatment and in comparison with untreated wood. The experiment was
designed under various wood zoning (inner (IZ), central (CZ) and peripheral zone (PZ)) and
ve different trunk height positions (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 m). Two various impregnation time for
each bioresin treatments (150 and 300 seconds for high temperature technique; 24 and 48 hours
for bioresin soluble in acetone) and two acetone concentrations were applied. Total number
of specimen with 3 to 5 replications was 333 pieces. The testing of this mechanical property
was conducted based on ASTM standard D 143-94 [3] with the secondary dimension of the
specimen. The complete data of shear parallel to grain test was presented in Appendix F.2. The
summarized results of this test for untreated (control), treated wood with bioresin and treated
with bioresin soluble in acetone were presented in Table 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, respectively.
4.3.2.2.1 The effect of wood zoning and trunk height on the shear strength parallel to
grain of oil palm wood (untreated specimen)
According to the obtained results of shear parallel test which is summarized in Table 4.17, this
mechanical property was increased from inner to peripheral zone as also shown in Figure 4.43.
Due to the wood zoning factor, the average values of shear parallel at IZ, CZ and PZ zone were
about 14.1, 14.3 and 24.7 kg/cm2 , respectively.

It can be identied that the values at IZ and CZ were similar, therefore, these values were then
classied into the same subset (Table G.120), statistically. At PZ, the shear parallel strength
was approx. 71% greater than value at IZ and CZ. The tests of between-subject effects showed
that the whole factors (wood zoning and trunk height) were signicantly different at level 0.05,
but their interaction was not signicant different. It can be seen that the probability values of
wood zoning and trunk height were about 8.02x106 and 8.67x106 (p < 0.05), respectively,
and for their interaction, it was about 0.356 (p > 0.05) (Table G.119). The average value of

(control specimen)
shear parallel to grain for untreated wood was about 17.7 kg/cm2 . At longitudinal direction,
the shear parallel strength based on its trunk height was decreased from the bottom to the top
of the trunk as also shown in Figure 4.44. The highest value was at 1 meter (24.9 kg/cm2 ) and
the lowest value was at 9 meter (10.6 kg/cm2 ). Statistical analysis of this factor showed that
the oil palm wood was grouped into two subsets (Table G.121), i.e. 1 to 5 m and >5 to 9 m,
respectively.
Concerning to analysis shear parallel value distribution for each zone, the factorial analysis design using the univariate analysis of variance was used. The result showed that the specimen
from all position along the trunk at IZ was signicantly different at level 0.05 with the probability value of about 2.499x105 (p<0.05), therefore, this factor was then classied into three
subset, as shown in Table G.124. At CZ, the distribution of shear parallel strength was also
signicantly different. The probability value was about 6.62x104 (p<0.05). In this zone, trunk
height factor was also grouped into three subsets starting up to 1 m, 3 to 7 m and 7 to 9 m
(Table G.127). Whilst, the distribution of shear parallel strength at peripheral zone was only
classied into two subsets (Table G.130), up to 5 meter and more than 5 meter. The distribution
of shear parallel to grain strength for all zones along the trunk is presented in Figure 4.44.
Generally, the oil palm wood based on its wood zoning can be used by grouping them into two
groups, where wood from inner and central zone can be used together, but it shall be taken
into consideration with regard to the wood near the central point. The wood from peripheral
zone shall be used separately with the others zone. Due to the greater different of shear parallel
strength at this zone, it can be used for structural purposes. Concerning its position along the
trunk, the wood shall be classied into two or three groups of height positions, but this also
must be consider to their zones.

4.3.2.2.2 The effect of wood zoning, trunk height and impregnation time on the shear
strength parallel to grain of oil palm wood impregnated with bioresin
After treating the oil palm wood with bioresin at 180 C for 150 and 300 seconds, the treated
wood was visually more compact and rigid compare to untreated wood. This was predict because the bioresin reserved into the wood and lled the wood components, such as vascular
bundles. The summarized of this experiment is presented the following table:

In the above table, it can be observed that the shear parallel to grain strength of the treated
wood (21.3 kg/cm2 ) was higher compared to the untreated wood (17.7 kg/cm2 ). This was
logically accepted to the fact that bioresin lled cell cavities of wood during the impregnation
process. Further, this material was then getting harden until reach its room temperature. Shear
parallel strength value was increased from the inner zone to peripheral zone for both 150 and
300 impregnation time, as shown in Figure 4.45 and 4.46. In this gure, it also can be observed
that by improving the impregnation time, the shear parallel strength was not increasing, indeed,
it is slightly lower than 150 seconds. This occur might be because of the negative effect of
high temperature during the process. The heat caused a reduction of wood ability to endure its
structural property.

Regarding the trunk height factor, this mechanical property was slightly decrease from bottom
part to the top part of trunk for both conditions of impregnation time. This can be easily identied in Figure 4.47 and 4.48. The average value of shear parallel for 150 and 300 seconds were
about 21.3 (15.9-27.4) and 19.2 (13.9-26.1) kg/cm2 , respectively.
Referring to the statistical analysis result which is presented in Table G.132, it can be observed
that all tested factors (wood zoning, trunk height and impregnation time) were signicantly
different at level 0.05 in affecting to shear parallel strength, but their interactions were not
signicant. Further, Levenes test (Table G.131) showed that its probability of about 1.99x109 ,
it means that the populations data of shear parallel strength were providing a different variances.
Therefore in post hoc test by using Duncans test resulted that the wood zoning was classied
into two subset (Table G.133), where IZ and CZ were in one subset. This result was accepted to
the fact that the mean value in IZ and CZ was similar, i.e. 16.2 and 17.4 kg/cm2 , respectively.
The other subset was peripheral zone with mean value of about 24.6 kg/cm2 .

Whilst, the trunk height factor was also affecting signicantly different at level 0.05 to shear
parallel to grain strength. The obtained Duncans test in Table G.134 showed that these mechanical property values were grouped into three subsets, i.e. 1 to 3 m, >3 to 7 m and >7 to 9
m.
Furthermore, in order to investigate the shear parallel strength of the treated wood based on its
wood zoning individually, the statistical analysis was conducted by using univariate analysis.
According to the obtained data, the tested factors (trunk height and impregnation time) were
examined in affecting to the shear parallel strength. It can be observed that at IZ and CZ,
the distributions of shear parallel value were similar. At these wood zones, the trunk height
was classied into three subsets (Table G.139 and G.144) and impregnation time factor was
classied into two subsets, as shown in Table G.140 and G.145. Whilst, trunk height factor at
PZ (Table G.149) was also affecting to the shear parallel strength, but only classied into two
subsets (1 to 5 m and >5 to 9 m), indeed the impregnation time was classied into one subset
only (Table G.150).
At inner zone, the oil palm wood based on its position along the trunk can be divided from 1 to
3 m, >3 to 5 m and 7 to 9 m as well as at CZ, but at PZ was up to 5 meter and more than 5 meter
height. Due to the affecting of impregnation time, at IZ and CZ, this factor was signicantly
different at level 0.05 in affecting shear parallel strength, in comparison to untreated wood, but
it was not signicant at PZ.

4.3.2.2.3 The effect of wood zoning, trunk height, impregnation time and acetone concentration on the shear strength parallel to grain of oil palm wood impregnated with acetone
In this experiment, the oil palm wood was treated with bioresin soluble in acetone at various
impregnation time (24 and 48 hours) and various percentage of bioresin in acetone (10 and
20%). The specimens were also taken from various wood zoning (inner (IZ), central (CZ) and
peripheral zone (PZ)) and various trunk height (3, 5 and 7 m). On the basic of data in Table
4.19, the shear parallel to grain strength of treated wood at various conditions of treatment were
almost similar from one condition to the others, where the average values were ranging from
13.6 to 24.5 kg/cm2 . Looking at transverse section view, this strength was gradually increased
from central point to the outer part of the trunk, as shown in Figure 4.49. The average values
at various condition (T1K1; T1K2; T2K1; T2K2) were about 19 (13.8-21.8); 19.5 (13.7-23.8);
19.2 (14.8-24.5) and 18.1 (13.7-22.8) kg/cm2 , respectively. Whilst, at longitudinal direction,
the shear strength parallel to grain was slightly decreased from the bottom to the top of the trunk
for all experiment conditions, as shown in Figure 4.50.

Further, the statistical analysis result based on its wood zoning showed that the values at IZ and
CZ were classied in one subsets or in other word that the shear parallel strength at these zones
are similar. Whilst, at PZ, it was signicantly different at level 0.05 compare to IZ and CZ in
affecting this strength (Table G.153). Due to the trunk height factor, the distribution of shear
parallel strength was slightly decrease toward the trunk height and it was classied into two
groups, starting up to 5 m and more than 5 m height in order to use this treated wood (Table
G.154). The impregnation time and percentage of bioresin in acetone factors were not affecting
signicantly to the shear parallel strength, and the obtained values were also not signicant in
comparison to the untreated wood (Table G.155 and G.156).
Concerning to the analysis of wood zoning factor individually, it can be identied that shear
parallel strengths based on their positions along the trunk at IZ, CZ and PZ were statistically
signicant at level 0.05, where each position ( 3, 5 and 7 m) resulted different values of this me113

in acetone were not affecting signicantly to the shear parallel strength. These can be observed
at table tests of between-subject effect (Table G.159, G.165 and G.171), where all probability
values were more than 0.05. It means that the distribution of population data of variance were

4.3.2.3 Hardness Strength

Hardness is related to the strength of wood in abrasion and scratching with various objects,
as well as to the difculty or ease of working wood with tools and machines. It is a measure
of the wearing ability of wood and is an important consideration in the use of wood for oor,
furniture, sport items, paving blocks, bearings and rollers. Kollmann [67] stated his ndings
with regards to hardness that the resistance of wood to the entrance of foreign bodies in its mass
is higher up to about double in the axial direction than sidewise, but the difference between
radial and tangential surface is seldom important. Generally, hardness dened as resistance to
indentation, measured by the load required to embed a 11.28 mm ball to one-half its diameter.
Values presented are the average of radial and tangential penetrations [94].
Relating to the hardness strength of oil palm wood, the experiment was designed to investigate
the effect of various wood zoning (inner (IZ), central (CZ) and peripheral zone (PZ)) and various
trunk height (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 m) with two kinds of bioresin treatments (high temperature and
chemical techniques) which were conducted at various impregnation time and concentration of
bioresin to the hardness strength. The specimen was produced referring to ASTM Standard D
143-94 [3] with the sample size of 50 mm x 50 mm x 150 mm and 3 replications for each
condition, therefore, there were 333 pieces of specimen. The testing was carried out at two side
points of hardness test. According to the above mentioned experimental design, the complete
data is presented in Table F.19, F.20, F.21, F.22, F.23 (see Appendix F.3) and the summarized of
untreated, bioresin with heat technique and bioresin soluble in acetone are presented in Table
4.20, 4.21 and 4.22, respectively. Further, the data analysis in this study is divided into three
part on the basic of the applied treatments.
4.3.2.3.1 The effect of wood zoning and trunk height on the hardness strength of oil palm
wood (untreated specimen)
In order to investigate the effect of wood zoning and trunk height to the hardness test of untreated wood, the obtained data in Table 4.20 showed that the general mean value of hardness
strength was approx. 137.2 kg with the average value from inner to peripheral zone were about
81.4, 110 and 220 kg, respectively. It can be observed that the hardness strength at PZ was
almost two times greater than at CZ. Hardness property of the untreated wood was gradually
decreased toward the central point of the trunk at transverse sectional view and the uctuation
of distribution of this mechanical property also observed from the bottom to the top of oil palm
trunk. The effect of wood zoning and trunk height to the hardness strength can be seen in Figure
4.51 and 4.52.
Furthermore, according to the statistical analysis of the obtained data, it can be stated than the
untreated wood of oil palm at IZ and CZ were not signicantly different at level 0.05 to the
hardness strength, both of them was signicant compare to the average value at PZ. This can be
seen in Table G.178. The effect of trunk height was also almost not signicant different at the
same level of analysis, statistically, because the hardness strength was almost similar along the
trunk except at 9 meter height, as shown in Table G.179.
Looking at individual zone of oil palm wood, the effect of trunk height at IZ and CZ were
similar. They were not signicantly different each other at level 0.05 (Table G.182 and G.185).
This can be observed on the probability values at these wood zones, which were approx. 0.807
(IZ) and 0.052 (CZ) or both values are less than 0.05 (Table G.180 and G.183). At PZ, the trunk
116
height was affecting to hardness strength signicantly different at level 0.05, where the obtained
values were classied into two subsets, i.e. 1 to 3 m and 5 to 9 m (Table G.188).

Generally, it can be stated that on the basic of hardness strength, the untreated wood of oil palm
shall be separated based on its wood zoning and trunk height. According to wood zoning, the
wood at IZ and CZ can be used together, because at these wood zones provide similar hardness
strength, but shall be separated with wood from PZ. Further, based on trunk height factor, the
trunk almost does not need to separate up to 7 m height.

Based on the above table, it can be observed that the average values of hardness strength of
wood after treating with bioresin for 150 seconds at various wood zoning (IZ, CZ and PZ) were
about 86.7, 124.6 and 226 kg, respectively, and after treating for 300 seconds were about 87.9,
129.1 and 210 kg, respectively. The distribution of this property was gradually increased from
inner to peripheral zone, as shown in Figure 4.53 and 4.54. Statistically, wood zoning factor
was resulting signicantly different of hardness strength values for each zone, therefore, they
classied into three subsets, as shown in Table G.191.
Whilst, based on impregnation time factor, the average hardness strength after treating for 150
and 300 seconds were about 146 and 142 kg, respectively. These values were similar, and it
means that the impregnation time was not affecting signicantly to the hardness strength. This
can be proofed using statistical analysis, where according to Table G.190, the probability of this
factor was approx. 0.543 (p > 0.05) and further this factor was also classied only one subset,
where both impregnation time conditions were not affecting signicantly to hardness strength
in comparison to untreated wood as shown in Table G.193.
According to its position along the trunk, the hardness strength was uctuated along the trunk,
but from the whole positions, the treated wood for 150 seconds was better than 300 seconds, as
shown in Figure 4.55 and 4.56. Based on statistical analysis, this factor was affecting significantly different with the probability of approx. 0.019 (p < 0.05), therefore, it was classied
into two subsets, i.e. up to 7 meter and more than 7 meter height (Table G.192).
Looking at wood zoning individually, the hardness strength of treated wood with bioresin for
150 and 300 seconds at IZ were not signicantly different compare to untreated wood (Table
G.198) and based on its position along the trunk, this wood has equal values up to 7 m, as
shown in Table G.197. At CZ, this mechanical property was signicantly different compare
to the untreated wood (Table G.202) and the woods were classied into three subset of trunk
height, i.e. up to 1 m, 1 to 5 m and >5 to 9 m, respectively. At PZ, the treated wood with
bioresin at any conditions of impregnation time (Table G.208) were not different signicantly
compare to the untreated wood, similar to the woods at IZ. The trunk height factor at this region
was signicant, therefore the obtained values were then grouped into two subsets, i.e. up to 1
m and >1 to 9 m height, as shown in Table G.207.
According to the above mentioned results, it can be generally stated that the hardness strength of
oil palm wood at peripheral zone was higher compare to the others zone as shown in Figure 4.55
and 4.56. The impregnation time factor resulted signicant different of hardness strength only
at central zone in comparison to the untreated wood. The trunk height factor almost not affects
to this property, but the wood zoning was signicantly different at level 0.05 to the hardness
strength, therefore, it can be stated that the oil palm wood shall be used separately based on its
wood zoning.

4.3.2.3.3 The effect of wood zoning, trunk height, impregnation time and bioresin concentration on the hardness strength of oil palm wood impregnated with acetone
The hardness strength of oil palm wood treated with bioresin soluble in acetone at various
concentration were conducted to investigate the quality of this wood in comparison to untreated
wood of oil palm and also to proof the applied treatment. According to the summarized data in
Table 4.22 and statistical analysis in Table G.210, it can be mentioned that from the all tested
factors, only wood zoning was affecting to the hardness strength signicant different statistically
(Table G.211). The probability of this factor was approx. 9.91x1022 . The interactions between
factors were also not signicant different at level 0.05. The average values of this mechanical
property at IZ, CZ and PZ were about 90.3, 116.3 and 253.4 kg, respectively. The value at PZ
was more than two times greater than at CZ. The lowest value was at IZ, as shown in Figure
4.57. Based on Table G.214, the treated wood with 20% bioresin was resulting signicant value
compare to the untreated wood in affecting hardness strength.

The investigation on their wood zoning individually, it can be observed that at inner and central
zone, the impregnation time (Table G.219 and G.225) and bioresin concentration (Table G.220
and G.226) were affecting signicantly different at level 0.05 to hardness strength in comparison
to the untreated wood, but the trunk height was contrary. At peripheral zone, the impregnation
time, trunk height and bioresin concentration were not affecting signicantly to the hardness
strength. Although, the all tested factors were not signicantly different, but the hardness value
at this zone was higher compered to the others zone, as observed in Table 4.22.

4.3.2.4 Compression Strength Parallel to Grain
In this section, the study were conducted to investigate the compression parallel to grain strength
of oil palm wood. The experiment runs in three different treatments including untreated wood
which was then used as control, bioresin treatment using heat treatment and chemical (acetone).
The specimen was taken from peripheral zone only, but from various trunk height, due to the
limited amount of material. Like the others testing, this mechanical property was also tested
based on ASTM Standard D 143-94 [3]. The dimension of specimen was 25 mm x 25 mm
x 100 mm with total number of specimen 111 pieces. The obtained data was examined using
statistical analysis to dene the effect of trunk height, impregnation time and bioresin concentration to the compression parallel to grain strength of oil palm wood. According to the testing
result, the complete data is presented in Table F.24, F.25 and F.26 (see Appendix F.4) and the
summaries of these tables are presented in Table 4.23, 4.24 and 4.25, respectively.
4.3.2.4.1 The effect of trunk height on the compression strength parallel to grain of oil
palm wood at peripheral zone (untreated specimen)
In order to investigate the effect of trunk height to compression parallel strength, the data in
Table 4.23 showed that the average value from whole specimen test was about 197 kg/cm2 ,
ranging from 170 to 236 kg/cm2 . It can be observed that the distribution of compression
parallel strength along the trunk was uctuating from the bottom to the top of the trunk (Figure
4.59), but generally it was gradually increased.

On the basic of statistical analysis, it can be observed that the trunk height factor was not
signicantly different at level 0.05 in affecting to compression parallel strength, therefore the
compression parallel values from all analyzed position of height were classied into only one
subset. This can be seen in Table G.236 with the probability based on Levenes test in Table
G.234 of approx. 0.153 (p > 0.05). It means that in the utilization of oil palm wood which is
taken from peripheral zone, this wood doesnt need to separate along the trunk.

Due to the impregnation time, the experimental results showed that the average values of treated
wood for 150 and 300 seconds were about 258 and 257.5 kg/cm2 , respectively. These values
were similar and on the basic of statistical analysis, it can be examined that they were not
signicantly different in affecting the compression parallel to grain, but they were signicantly
different comparing to the untreated wood, therefore between treated and untreated wood were
classied in separated subsets (Table G.241) with probability of approx. 0.031 (p < 0.05).

Concerning the trunk height factor, it can be examined that this factor was affecting signicantly
different at level 0.05 to the compression parallel strength with the probability value of approx.
0.013 (p < 0.05), as observed in Table G.239. By applying this result, the oil palm wood which
is taken from peripheral zone can be used separately from 1 to 5 m and >5 to 9 m (Table G.240).

In this section, the study was conducted to investigate the effect of trunk height, impregnation
time and bioresin concentration to the compression parallel strength of oil palm wood at peripheral zone. The obtained data is presented in Table 4.25. It can be observed that the highest value
of compression parallel strength was achieved at position 5 meter height for all conditions of
treatment, as shown in Figure 4.61. It also can be identied that the testing results were similar,
this indicated to the fact that the effect of tested factors were signicant only in certain condition
and position along the trunk.

The statistical analysis results enable to explain how these factors affecting the compression parallel strength. According to the tests between subjects effect (Table G.244), the trunk height and
impregnation time factors were signicantly different in affecting compression parallel strength,
but the bioresin concentration factor (10 and 20%) and interaction between factors were affecting not signicantly different at level 0.05. Further, the trunk height factor was classied into
two subsets, where the treated wood at position 5 meter can be separated with the others (Table
G.245). Whilst, the impregnation time was affecting signicantly comparing to the untreated
wood for specimen which treated for 24 hours (Table G.246). The bioresin concentration in
acetone was not affecting to the compression parallel strength signicantly (Table G.247).

4.3.2.5 Tension Strength Parallel to Grain
Relating to tension strength, Kollmann and Cot [68] stated that the strength of wood in tension
shows considerable differences if loading is axial (parallel to grain) or transverse. Strength in
axial tension is much higher up to 50 times and more. In transverse direction, the inuence of
radial or tangential loading is not consistent. Further, it has been observed that cell length is
related to the axial tensile strength of wood that wood with longer cells (in general, softwoods
in comparison to hardwoods) posses a higher strength [15]. This may be attributed to the relationship between cell length and microbrillar arrangement. It also has been found that within
a species, the angle between microbrils and cell length is smaller in longer cells and larger in
shorter ones.
The study of this mechanical property in oil palm wood, several conditions of treatment were
applied for the wood which is only taken from peripheral zone (PZ) at various height, due to
the limited amount of material. The experiment was carried out in order to compare the tension strength between the untreated and treated woods at various factors, such as trunk height,
impregnation time and bioresin concentration. All specimens were tested referring to ASTM
Standard D 143-94 [3] with the specimen size 460 mm in length and total specimen 111 pieces.
The complete data of tension parallel to grain strength is presented in Table F.27, F.28 and F.29
(see Appendix F.5). Further, the summarized of these data including untreated wood, treated
wood with heat technique and treated wood with chemical are presented in Table 4.26, 4.27 and
4.28, respectively.
4.3.2.5.1 The effect of trunk height on the tension strength parallel to grain of oil palm
wood at peripheral zone (untreated specimen)
According to tension strength data in Table 4.26, it can be identied that the average value
of untreated wood was about 284 kg/cm2 and also observed that this mechanical property
decreases along the trunk, as shown in Figure 4.62.

According to the statistical analysis, it can be stated that the trunk height factor was affecting

of approx. 0.036 (Table G.249), therefore, based on post hoc test, the untreated wood along the
trunk can be classied into two subsets (Table G.251) due to its utilization, i.e. from 1 to 7 m
and >7 to 9 m height.

According to the obtained data in Table 4.27, the average values of this mechanical property of
treated wood with bioresin for 150 and 300 seconds at various trunk height were 315 kg/cm2 ,
ranging from 238 to 455 kg/cm2 and 256 kg/cm2 , ranging from 119 to 335 kg/cm2 , respectively. Based on these data, it can be observed that tension parallel strength of wood treated
for 150 seconds was higher than 300 seconds. This might be occurred because inuence of
131
high heat at temperature 180 C to the wood component, such as vascular bundles. It can be
predicted that more than 150 seconds impregnation, the structural properties of oil palm wood
was decreased, due to the negative impact of high heat during process of the bioresin treatment.
Further, looking at longitudinal direction of the trunk, the tension parallel strength was uctuating, but generally its gradual decreased from the bottom to the top of the trunk, as shown in
Figure 4.63.

According to the statistical analysis, the trunk height factor was affecting signicantly different
to tension parallel strength as well as impregnation time and bioresin concentration. Based on
trunk height, the obtained values were classied into three subsets (Table G.260), therefore,
the treated wood can be used separately from up to 3 m, >3 to 5 m and >5 m. The value
of tension parallel to grain based on 24 hours impregnation time factor was not signicant
compared to treated wood which was impregnated for 48 hours, but both of them was signicant
in comparison to the untreated wood (Table G.261). It means that this factor was affecting
signicantly to tension parallel strength generally. Concerning the bioresin concentrations, it
can be stated that this factor was affecting signicantly different at level 0.05 for all variation of
bioresin concentration soluble in acetone (Table G.262) and also in comparison to the untreated
wood.

4.3.2.6 Tension Strength Perpendicular to Grain
Concerning to tension perpendicular to grain, Barrett [12] stated in his study on the effect of
size on tensile strength perpendicular to grain of Douglas-r that this mechanical property in
all structural species is low, usually less than 1000 psi, even for small clear specimens. Tensile
strength perpendicular to grain characteristically exhibits a high variability, a fact recognized
by design code requirements that mean tensile strength perpendicular to grain be reduced by a
larger percentage than any other strength property in the calculation of allowable stress. This
was parallel to the formerly study by Kollmann and Cot [68] who mentioned that strength in
axial tension is much higher up to 50 times and more than tension in perpendicular to grain.
Concerning to oil palm wood properties, this study was conducted to investigate tension perpendicular to grain. Three factors were tested including trunk height, impregnation time and
bioresin concentration in affecting this mechanical property. The specimen was taken from peripheral region of oil palm wood based on its view on transverse section and the experiment
was conducted based on the condition which is explained in Chapter 3, Section 3.2.3.2. Statistical analysis is carried out to examine the effect of those factors and comparison between the
untreated and treated woods. According to the obtained data, the complete results of tension
perpendicular to grain of oil palm wood are presented in Table F.30, F.31 and F.32, whilst the
summary of these data was presented in Table 4.29, 4.30 and 4.31.
4.3.2.6.1 The effect of trunk height on the tension strength perpendicular to grain of oil
palm wood at peripheral zone (untreated specimen)
According to the obtained experimental data in Table 4.29, it can be observed that tension
perpendicular to grain strength of oil palm wood at peripheral zone was about 3.56 kg/cm2 ,
ranging from 2.61 to 4.47. Based on its distribution along the trunk, it can be stated that this
mechanical property value was gradually decreased from base part to the tip of the trunk, as
shown in Figure 4.65. The average value of tension perpendicular to grain was 79 times lower
in comparison to the tension parallel to grain. It is attributed to the fact that this value was in
agreement with Kollmann and Cots [68] result.

Further, based on the statistical analysis, the effect of trunk height to the tension perpendicular

(1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 meter). This can be observed in Table G.264, where the probability of this
factor using Levenes test was approx. 0.68 (p > 0.05), therefore, the all value was classied
into only one subset as shown in Table G.266.

The average values of tension perpendicular to grain after treating with bioresin for 150 and 300
seconds were about 5.32 g/cm2 ranging from 3.37 to 10.1, and 4.04 g/cm2 ranging from 2.1 to
5.8, respectively (Table 4.30).

wood for 150 seconds, but both of them were higher in comparison with the untreated wood
(3.56 kg/cm2 ). It means that the bioresin treatment using heat technique inuences positively
in affecting to the tension perpendicular to grain of oil palm wood. This can also be observed
statistically as shown in Table G.269, where the probability of impregnation time factor was
136
approx. 0.039 or p < 0.05. In this table also showed that the trunk height factor and their
interaction were signicantly different in affecting tension perpendicular to grain of oil palm
wood. Further, consider to trunk height factor, the experiment resulted that treated oil palm
wood can be used separately from 1 to 5 m and >5 to 9 m (Table G.270).

tension strength perpendicular to grain of oil palm wood at peripheral zone impregnated
with acetone
In this section, the oil palm wood at peripheral zone is treated with bioresin soluble in acetone
and the experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of this treatment in affecting to the
tension perpendicular to grain. Hence, several conditions were tested based on various factor,
including trunk height, impregnation time and bioresin concentration. The summarized data of
this trial is presented in Table 4.31. According to this data, it can be observed that the average values of tension perpendicular to grain of oil palm wood at condition T1K1, T1K2, T2K1
and T2K2 were about 4.9, 3.6, 4.9 and 7.2 kg/cm2 , respectively. In comparison to the untreated
wood, this mechanical property of treated wood was higher, thus, it means that the applied treatment affects positively. Based on its positions along the trunk, tension perpendicular strength
was gradually decreased toward the top of the trunk, as shown in Figure 4.67.
To investigate deeper about the inuence of factors those affecting tension perpendicular strength,
the statistical analysis performed that trunk height (Table G.275) and impregnation time (Table
G.276) factors were affecting signicantly different at level 0.05, except bioresin concentration
factor (Table G.277). Looking individually for every factor, the obtained statistical calculation
137
showed that treated oil palm wood can be used separately from 3 to 5m and >5 to 7m based on
its position along the trunk.

4.3.2.7 Cleavage Strength
The resistance of wood to cleavage refers to exterior forces acting in the form of a wedge. Due
to its structure, wood has a low axial resistance to cleavage, i.e easily split. Bowyer et al. [15]
mentioned that this property is an advantage for certain uses, e.g. splitting fuelwood and a
disadvantage for others, e.g. wooden members splitting when nailed or screwed.
This mechanical property was similar to tension perpendicular to grain, but only one side force
is tested with the specimen shape as shown in Figure 3.9j (see Section 3.2.3.2). Regarding to
cleavage strength of oil palm wood, the investigation was carried out to the untreated and treated
wood, including bioresin treatment using heat technique and bioresin soluble in acetone. Due
to the limited material available, the testing runs only for wood which is taken from peripheral
region, with the total number of specimen 111 pieces. This mechanical property is tested on
the basic of ASTM Standard D-143 94 [3]. Referring to the above mentioned test, the complete
data are presented in Table F.33, F.34 and F.35 (see Appendix F.7). Whilst, the summary of
these data are presented in Table 4.32, 4.33 and 4.34, respectively.
4.3.2.7.1 The effect of trunk height on the cleavage strength of oil palm wood at peripheral
zone (untreated specimen)
According to the obtained results in Table 4.32, the cleavage of oil palm wood at peripheral
zone was about 1.7 kg/cm2 , ranging from 1.2 to 2.1. Form this table, it also can be observed
that strength at position 3 and 5 m were higher in comparison to the others position of height,
and this can be easily identied in Figure 4.68. This is attributed to the fact that due to the high
population density of vascular bundles in peripheral zone, particularly at these positions.

On the basic of statistical analysis, the effect of trunk height factor showed that it was not really
signicant in affecting the cleavage of oil palm wood. This also can be observed that the trunk
was only divided into two subsets, where in order to use this untreated wood, it shall separate
from 1 to 5 m and >5 to 9 m (Table G.281).

4.3.2.7.2 The effect of trunk height and impregnation time on the cleavage strength of oil
palm wood at peripheral zone impregnated with bioresin
Data in Table 4.33 showed that the average values of cleavage strength of treated wood with
bioresin for 150 and 300 seconds were about 2.24 kg/cm2 , ranging from 1.95 to 2.80, and 1.91
kg/cm2 , ranging from 1.31 to 2.63, respectively. These values were higher in comparison to the
untreated wood (1.7 kg/cm2 ). It is attributed to the fact that the applied treatment inuences
positively in order to improve the cleavage strength of oil palm wood. Distribution of this
property along the trunk was uctuating, as shown in Figure 4.69 and it also can be observed
that the treated wood with bioresin for 300 seconds lower compare to the other for all positions
of height along the trunk.

To investigate more detail about the effect of tested factors, i.e. trunk height and impregnation
time to the cleavage strength of oil palm wood at peripheral zone was carried out using univari140
ate analysis. Based in this analysis, it showed that trunk height factor was affecting signicantly
different at level 0.05, where the wood was classied into three subsets, i.e. 1 to 3 m, >3 to 5
m and >5 to 9 m (Table G.285). Whilst, the applied impregnation time of bioresin using heat
technique resulted a positive inuences to the cleavage strength. The obtained results were signicantly different in comparison to the untreated wood, although the values within the treated
wood was not really signicant (Table G.286).

Statistical analysis results showed that the trunk height factor was affecting signicantly to the
cleavage strength, where its value based on their positions were grouped into two subsets. This
treated wood can be used separately starting up to 5 meter and more than 5 meter, as shown in
Table G.290. The impregnation time factor (Table G.291) was also resulted a positive impact in
order to improve the cleavage strength of oil palm wood. In comparison to the untreated wood,
the treated wood was performing signicantly different at level 0.05. Further, the bioresin
concentration factor affects signicantly different, therefore the obtained values were classied
into two subsets (Table G.292).

4.3.2.8 Nail Withdrawal Resistance

Resistance of a nail to direct withdrawal from a piece of wood is intimately related to the
density or specic gravity of the wood, the diameter of the nail, and the depth it has penetrated.
The surface condition of the nail and the type of shank and point it has will also inuence the
withdrawal resistance. This mechanical property of wood was tested on the peripheral region
of oil palm wood based on the ASTM Standard D 143-94 [3]. Testing was done nails with
diameter of 2.5 mm at ve different positions where nails shall be driven. Generally, nail shall
not be driven closer than 19 mm from the edge or 38 mm from the end of a piece.
The complete data of nail withdrawal test for the untreated wood, treated wood with bioresin
using heat technique and soluble in acetone are presented in Table F.36, F.37 and F.38 (see
Appendix F.8), respectively. Whilst, the average value of nail withdrawal resistance are summarized in Table 4.35 for untreated wood, Table 4.36 for treated wood using heat technique and
Table 4.37 for treated wood using chemical technique, respectively.
4.3.2.8.1 The effect of trunk height on the nail withdrawal resistance of oil palm wood at
peripheral zone (untreated specimen)
Nail withdrawal resistance of oil palm wood at peripheral zone in Table 4.35 shows considerable uniformity ranging from 28.5 to 43.8 kg with the average value of about 34.5 kg. The
highest nail withdrawal was occurred at position 3 m height and the lowest was at 1 m height.
Distribution of this mechanical property shows gradually uctuate toward the tip of trunk, as
shown in Figure 4.71. Further, based on statistical analysis, the trunk height factor was affecting signicantly different at level 0.05 (Table G.295), therefore, this untreated wood shall be
143
separated into three parts, based on its position along the trunk. Table G.296 shows that the
trunk was classied into three subsets, i.e. up to 1 m, 3 to 5 m and 7 to 9 m.

According to the obtained data of nail withdrawal which is summarized in Table 4.36, it can be
observed that the applied treatment of bioresin impregnation using heat technique was resulting
insignicant values in comparison to the untreated wood. The average values of treated woods
those are impregnated for 150 and 300 seconds were about 30.7 and 28.5 kg, respectively, whilst
the untreated wood of about 34.5 kg. The distribution of this mechanical values along the trunk
was uctuating with the highest value at position 3 meter, as shown in Figure 4.72.

In order to investigate the inuence of factors those are affecting to nail withdrawal resistance,
the statistics analysis showed that trunk height and impregnation time were affecting signicantly different at level 0.05, but the interaction between them was insignicant (Table G.299).
Based on trunk height factor, nail withdrawal resistance can be classied into three subsets, i.e.
1 to 3 m, 3 to 5 m and >5 m, as shown in Table G.300. Further, the impregnation time factor
was signicantly different in affecting nail withdrawal resistance (Table G.301), but the values
were still lower in comparison to the untreated wood.

Nail withdrawal property of oil palm wood after treating with bioresin soluble in acetone is
summarized in Table 4.37. From this table, the average values of treated wood at the following
conditions of treatment T1K1, T1K2, T2K1 and T2K2 were about 28.8, 43.7, 43.2 and 33.2 kg,
respectively. The distribution of these values was performed in Figure 4.73.
Based on trunk height factor (Table G.305), the nail withdrawal resistance of treated wood
can be classied into two subsets, i.e. up to 3 m and 5 to 7 m. This factor was affecting
signicantly with probability value of approx. 0.07 (Table G.304). This property was gradually
decreased from the bottom to the top of trunk, as shown in Figure 4.73. Impregnation time and
bioresin concentration were affecting insignicant to nail withdrawal (Table G.306 and G.307),
therefore, all value was only classied into on subsets only.

4.3.3 Machinery Properties of Oil Palm Wood

One of the signicant characteristics of wood is the facility with which it can be machined and
fabricated. Machining tests are carried out to determined the working qualities and characteristics of wood under a variety of machine operations such as are encountered in commercial
manufacturing practice. Working quality of wood is performed by the presence of wood defects after machining process. These defects can be observed as raised grain, fuzzy grain, torn
grain, chip mark, crushing, tear cut, scratching and surface roughness. Regarding the oil palm
wood, Ho et al. [56] mentioned that lumber from oil palm trunk does not have good machining
properties. It is slightly difcult to very difcult to work with, depending on the machining
process used and gives very rough machined surfaces. The rough surfaces are either due to
raised vascular bundle bres or tearing of the vascular bundles. This makes the nishing process very difcult. Further, Haslett [54] stated that the main defects of oil palm lumber after
drying process are cupping, twisting, collapse, and checks (splits) between vascular bundles
and parenchymatous tissue.
Regarding the above machining conditions of oil palm wood, this study was conducted to improve its properties by applying the bioresin reinforcement techniques. The experiment runs to
evaluate the quality of machining properties of oil palm wood through the observation of wood
defects on the surface specimen (surface defect) after machining process. It was carried out
based on visual investigation which is done by an expert who has good credibility and sufcient experiences in evaluating machinery properties of wood. Therefore, the evaluation was
conducted by a responsible expert from Bogor Agricultural University.
Machining quality of wood was expressed by the percentage of surface defects area of the wood
specimen. It was examined through the visual observation of the surface defect. The defect was
calculated by measuring the area of surface defect on the wood quantitatively through length
by width of defects exist. Further, the area of defect was expressed in percent by comparing
with the area of the wood surface specimen. The tested specimen was then classied based
on the classication of machining quality of wood, as presented in Table 4.38. The testings
were conducted referring to ASTM Standard D 1666-90 [7], including cross cutting, planning,
shaving, moulding and boring for untreated wood (UW) and treated wood with bioresin using
heat technique 150 seconds (WBH).

*) It was calculated on the basic of the area of surface defects of wood after machining process.
According to this experiment, several wood defects has been observed on the oil palm wood,
such as chipped grain, fuzzy grain and burl. The description of these defects was examined as
the following defect condition:
Chipped grain, shallow dent on the surface of specimen due to the loose of a group of
bres.
148
Fuzzy grain, the appearance of individual bre on the surface of specimen due to lack of
bre cut by the knife of cutting tool.
Burl, a localized severe distortion of the grain.
The complete data of machinery properties of oil palm wood, both untreated and treated wood
at various positions along the trunk after cross cutting, planning, shaving, moulding and boring
are presented in Table 4.39, 4.40, 4.41, 4.42 and 4.43, respectively.
4.3.3.1 Cross Cutting
Cross cutting test is one of working process in order to determined the machining quality of oil
palm wood. This test was carried out under the condition of spindle speed 450 rpm, velocity 2
m.min1 with cutting width and thick of about 100 and 20 mm. According to the obtained data
in Table 4.39 can be calculated that average values of UW and WBH at IZ, CZ and PZ were
about 31.7 and 30.0%; 18 and 16.7%; 13.0 and 12.0%, respectively. Distribution of surface
defects after cross cutting process at various wood zoning can be seen in Figure 4.74.

It can be observed that the surface defects gradually decrease from inner to peripheral zone
for UW and WBH. It means that working quality of oil palm wood was increased from inner
to peripheral zone. Generally, based on classication table, the machining quality in cross
cutting was good (20.9%) for untreated wood and very good (19.5%) for treated wood which
is reinforced using bioresin. In other word, it can be stated that the bioresin reinforcement
technique inuenced positively in order to improve machining properties of oil palm wood.

4.3.3.2 Planning
In order to investigate the planning test of oil palm wood, the experiment was carried out using
Thicknezer Machine under condition of spindle speed 3000 rpm, velocity 2 m.min1 with
planing thickness 2 mm. Based on data in Table 4.40, it can be calculated that the average
values of planning test of UW and WBH at IZ, CZ and PZ were about 48.3 and 40.6%; 28.7
and 24.3%; 20.3 and 19.0%, respectively.
Referring to Table 4.40, working quality in planning test was increased from inner to peripheral
zone for UW and WBH. Further, the treated wood was better than untreated wood, where the
surface defect decreased from 32.4 to 27.9%. Distribution of surface defects percentage of
oil palm wood can be seen in Figure 4.75. From the results nding in this test, it can be
concluded that machining quality of oil palm wood was ranging from fair at IZ to very good
at PZ. Bioresin treatment was inuencing positively to reduce the percentage of surface defects
of oil palm wood in planning process, although the reduction still not really signicant, but it is
initially good to improve the apply treatment.

4.3.3.3 Shaving and Moulding

Shaving and moulding tests of oil palm wood were conducted using Shaper Machine under the
condition of spindle speed 5500 rpm, velocity 2 m.min1 with grove with and thickness of 12
and 10 mm, respectively. The groove and moulding were made parallel to grain. The results of
shaving and moulding test are presented in Table 4.41 and 4.42.
Shaving Test
According to the obtained results, shaving property of oil palm wood which was evaluated by
the quality of groove shape, it can be identied that this property was increase from inner to
peripheral zone for both UW and WBH. The average value of UW and WBH at IZ, CZ and PZ
were about 40.6 and 38.9%; 22.0 and 21.0%; 14.3 and 13.3%, respectively. The distribution of
these values can be seen in Figure 4.76.

4.3.3.4 Boring
Making a hole on wood or boring process is one of an important and very often regarding wood
working activity or in term of wood uses as material. According to boring test result in Table
4.43, the working quality of oil palm wood in boring test was varies from fair at inner to very
good for wood from peripheral zone. The average values of untreated and treated woods which
is calculated on the basic of its zone from central point to the outer part of trunk were about 47.8
and 44.4%; 25.3 and 22.0%; 20.7 and 17.3%, respectively. Surface defects of wood at IZ was
almost achieved 50% area. This is attributed to the fact that the number of vascular bundles in
this zone was fewer in comparison to the others zone. The distribution of surface defects after
boring process is presented in Figure 4.78.

4.4. Evaluation of Bioresin Reinforcement Techniques
4.4 Evaluation of Bioresin Reinforcement Techniques

As mentioned in the previous chapters, bioresin reinforcement was applied to improve the physical, mechanical and machinery properties of oil palm wood. Bioresin which was derived from
pine resin was used as ller and binding agent. This material was glassy solid, semi transparent, and soluble in many organic solvents. It was brittle at room temperature (27 C), but melts
at stove-top temperature with softening point starting at 75 C. Preliminary study of bioresin
reinforcement resulted that the proper condition of bioresin for treating the oil palm wood was
at temperature of about 180 C, where the bioresin enables to penetrate into wood and return to
solid and thermoset stages until the room temperature was achieved. Furthermore, based on the
bioresin feature that soluble in many organic solvents, the acetone was selected as solvent in
this study for conducting the chemical technique of bioresin reinforcement. According to these
conditions, therefore the bioresin reinforcement was applied to improve the wood features of
oil palm using both heat and chemical techniques.
In this section, the heat and chemical techniques of bioresin reinforcement were evaluated.
It was dened by comparing the wood quality of oil palm between the untreated and treated
woods. The wood quality was expressed through the several parameters of wood features,
including physical, mechanical and machinery.
According to the obtained results, the density of oil palm wood after treated with bioresin both
heat and chemical techniques was generally increased more than 70%, as shown in Table 4.44
and 4.45, respectively. From this experiment, it can be observed that an increasing of bioresin
retention was resulted an increasing in wood density. It is logically accepted to the fact that the
bioresin penetrated through the intercellular cavities of oil palm wood, as shown in Figure 4.79.

The average density of treated oil palm woods by applying heat technique for 150 seconds
impregnation time at IZ, CZ and PZ were about 0.29, 0.41 and 0.59 g/cm3 , respectively. In
comparison with the untreated wood, the density was increasing of about 63% at IZ, 106% at
CZ and 50% at PZ with bioresin retention of about 30, 22 and 6%, respectively. Although the
highest retention was achieved at inner zone, but the increasing density was lower compared
to central zone. This was logically accepted due to the higher number of vascular bundles at
central zone compared to inner zone.
The above mentioned condition was similarly occur both in the treated woods using heat technique for 300 seconds and using chemical technique for all conditions of treatment. It can be
stated that an increasing in density at central zone was higher than the others zones and concerning to the bioresin retention, it was increased toward the central point of the trunk. Based on
the obtained results of wood density improvement, the bioresin reinforcement using heat technique for 150 seconds was more efcient compared to 300 seconds impregnation time. Further,
in comparison with chemical technique, the density improvement of oil palm wood using heat
technique was quiet similar. The percentage of density improvement using heat and chemical
techniques were about 72.25 and 76.69%, respectively. According to this result and consider to
the use of chemical substances, the heat technique is a considerably better alternative in order
to apply bioresin reinforcement.
The evaluation of bioresin reinforcement based on the mechanical testing results was gathered
and summarized from the obtained results which already discussed in Section 4.3.2. The summary of mechanical properties of oil palm wood for the untreated wood (UW), the treated wood
with bioresin using heat (WBH) and chemical (WBA) techniques is presented in Table 4.46.

According to the results in Table 4.46, bioresin reinforcement generally increases the mechanical properties of oil palm wood, both treated using heat and chemical techniques. Further, to
dene the changing of wood strength after treatment, it was dened by calculating the improvement value of mechanical properties, which is expressed in percent using the following formula:

T W UW
Ivm =
x 100
(4.9)
UW
where, Ivm is percentage of improvement of the mechanical properties of wood after treating
with bioresin using heat or chemical technique in percent; T W is treated wood (WBH or WBA);
and U W is untreated wood.
By applying the equation 4.9, the percentage of mechanical properties improvement of oil palm
wood is presented in Table 4.47. According to this table, most of the tested specimens increase
their strength properties after impregnating with bioresin. It is attributed that the applied techniques was affecting positively in order to improve the mechanical properties of oil palm wood.
Furthermore, to determine the proper technique of bioresin reinforcement, it is necessary to
dene the improvement value (Iv ) in consideration to the statistical analysis results, therefore
the bioresin reinforcement value (Ebr ) was dened and concluded on the basic of improvement
value in Table 4.47 and the obtained statistical results which already discussed in Section 4.3.2.
The Ebr value was ranging from 1 to 1, where 1, if the mechanical properties were significantly different and lower than UW; 0 if insignicant or equal to UW; and 1 if signicantly
different in mechanical properties in comparison to UW. Further, the factor value of bioresin reinforcement which is affecting the wood quality was dened and calculated as the mean value of
Ebr . Due to each factor has different inuence in affecting the mechanical properties of wood,
therefore the factor value of bioresin reinforcement or fbr was also dened. These analysis and
calculation are presented in Table 4.48.
Generally, the experimental test for mechanical properties of oil palm wood based on several
factors which affecting to the quality of tested wood such as wood zoning, trunk height, impregnation time and bioresin concentration through the statistical analysis investigation resulted that
the proper technique of bioresin reinforcement was using heat than chemical (acetone). The
optimum condition of process using heat technique was achieved at impregnation time for 150
seconds at temperature of 180 C with the fbr value of about 0.73. It means that by applying
heat technique and its condition, the mechanical properties of oil palm wood increase signicantly in comparison to the untreated wood, both technically and statistically. Technically, the
heat technique resulted a higher wood strength of oil palm and more simple process in comparison to the chemical technique using acetone as organic solvent. Statistically, according to
the obtained results, the tested specimens resulted a signicantly different of mechanical properties than the untreated wood. In case the use of chemical technique, the optimum condition
of bioresin reinforcement was achieved at 24 hours impregnation time (fbr =0.24) with 10%
bioresin concentration in acetone solvent (fbr =0.17).
The obtained results from the machinery properties tests including cross cutting, planning, shaving and moulding and boring for the treated wood with bioresin using the heat technique resulted
a higher performances in comparison to the untreated wood of oil palm.
In addition, the treated wood of oil palm wood was visually more compact compared to the
untreated wood. The wood surface quality was also better and almost no fuzzy grain was observed after nishing process of the treated specimens, unlike the untreated wood, this wood
161
defect commonly exists. It was attributed to the fact that the bioresin penetrated into the wood
through the intercellular cells and this material immediately harden after impregnation process,
furthermore, the thermosetting condition between wood components and bioresin was achieved.

Tab. 4.48: Bioresin reinforcement technique evaluation based on the improvement of mechanical properties through the statistical analysis in
comparison with the untreated wood of oil palm
4.5. Proving Hypothesis and Research Outlook
4.5 Proving Hypothesis and Research Outlook

4.5.1 Proving Hypothesis
Based on the proposed research hypotheses which mentioned in Section 1.4, two hypothesists
(concerning to experimental factors and bioresin reinforcement) were proven and summarized
by referring and evaluating from the obtained results in Chapter 4. Thereby the mathematical
analysis and the various statistical analysis which included homogeneity test, Levenes test of
equality, test of between subjects effect, analysis of variance, regression analysis, and several
post-hoc test, e.g. least signicant different, Duncans test and Thamhanes test were used to
examine and analysis the obtained data from eld and laboratory.
According to the statistical analysis results of the experimental factors those affecting the physical, mechanical and machinery properties of oil palm wood, the wood zoning factor has very
signicant effect to the wood properties of oil palm at probability level 0.05. Therefore, it is
recommended to use the oil palm wood separately based on wood zoning (inner, central and
peripheral zone). It was further observed that the trunk height factor had also signicant effect
for the most tested wood properties. Hence, this factor has to be taken into consideration. Based
on this information, the wood zoning and trunk height variations were the important factors in
affecting the wood properties of oil palm or the null hypothesis was therefore rejected.
Regarding to the bioresin reinforcement, the obtained statistical analysis and in combination
with the mathematical analysis showed that the physical, mechanical and machinery properties
of oil palm wood can be improved by applying the bioresin reinforcement, particularly using
heat technique as well as chemical technique. Referring to this information, the bioresin reinforcement was able to improve the wood properties of oil palm, therefore the null hypothesis
was therefore rejected.
4.5.2 Research Outlook
Due to the high availability of the oil palm wood, this material potentially good for substituting
the wood from forest by improving its wood quality which naturally has several disadvantages,
such as susceptible to fungal attack, high variability in physical properties along the trunk height
and depth as well as mechanical and machinery properties. But, this wood also has many
advantages, beside the large amount available throughout the year, oil palm wood has relatively
straight-trunk and without branching, and also good accessibility for harvesting operation.
Referring to the ndings in this study which eliminated the above mentioned disadvantages of
oil palm wood, the treated wood of oil palm using bioresin has signicantly different in wood
properties in comparison with the untreated wood. It was very compact in formation and more
homogeny in properties. Therefore, the oil palm wood has a very good prospect for furniture,
panel based products and the structural material purposes as well.

5 Conclusions and Recommendations

5.1 Conclusions
The overall objectives of this research was concentrated on the experimental investigations of
the wood anatomical structures, the wood zoning determination and the bioresin reinforcement
of oil palm wood. The wood material is taken from 27 years old oil palm tress belongs to species
Elaeis guineensis Jacq, variety of DxP.
Valuable scientic knowledge of the anatomy of oil palm wood was gathered through the microscopic and macroscopic investigations using both light microscopy and scanning electron
microscopy. The wood zoning at transverse section of oil palm trunk was dened and examined
through the eld and laboratory investigations, follow by mathematical and statistical analysis.
This was carried out due to very heterogenic of wood properties both along the trunk height and
depth of oil palm, therefore, the aim of this experiment was to improve the homogeneity of the
produced oil palm lumbers. Whilst, the bioresin reinforcement both using heat and chemical
techniques was conducted to improve the physical, mechanical and machinery properties of oil
palm wood based on the several factors those affecting wood quality, e.g. wood zoning, trunk
height, impregnation time and bioresin concentration.
On the basic of the above mentioned experimental investigations, the obtained research results
were summarized and concluded as follow:
5.1.1 Anatomical Characteristics of Oil Palm Wood
According to the visual observation, the trunk shape of oil palm at transverse section is normally circular and two parts might be distinguished, e.g. main part of the trunk and cortex and
bark. The main part of the trunk can be divided into three wood zoning, i.e. inner, central and
peripheral zone. The quantitatively investigation about wood zoning is also investigated, as described in Section 4.2. Cortex consists of brous material and ground parenchymatous tissue.
The cortex wide was approx. 25 mm ranging from 15 to 31. Three different wood surfaces can
be observed from a piece of oil palm wood, such as cross surface, tangential surface and radial
surface. At transverse section of the trunk, no pith was observed, and the main part of the trunk
was commonly darker colour in peripheral part than that the inner part. In green condition, the
oil palm wood colour was yellowish and brownish in dry condition.
Based on microscopic investigation, the wood structure of oil palm was arranged in the different structure in comparison with common wood, where bre and vessel components arrange in
form of the vascular bundles system. This vascular bundle was surrounded by parenchymatous
ground tissues, therefore this wood material is not comparable to the wood which produced from
both dicotyledons and gymnosperms species which is normally developed from the secondary
xylem. This ndings is in agreement with Parthasarathy and Klotz [82], who investigated the
anatomical aspects of some monocotyledons species. The vascular bundles direction at peripheral zone were toward the central point, whilst at central and inner zones were in random
167
Chapter 5. Conclusions and Recommendations
5.1. Conclusions
direction. One or two large vessels were distinguished in peripheral zone and two or three vessels in central and inner zone. These large vessels were predicted as main component which
responsible for transporting the nutrient. The number of vascular bundles toward the central
point was decreased signicantly. Therefore, refer to this ndings, it is necessary to use the oil
palm wood separately based on the trunk depth.
From scanning electron microscopy, the bre structure in vascular bundle system was arranged
similarly to the common wood, which attached each others in very compact formation. The bre
composes lumen, cell walls, and pits. The bres have closed end, mostly pointed with the bre
length of about 2 mm, ranging from 1.9 to 2.1 mm. The lumen diameter and wall thickness
were about 12.5 m and 6.8 m, respectively. Several types of bre-form at transverse section
were also observed, e.g. spherical, triangular and rectangular forms. The companion cells were
also identied as well as the existence of pits on cell wall. The bre-wall layers at transverse
sectional view were distinguishable as primary and secondary layers. The intercellular layer,
like mortar cement brick between walls which namely middle lamella was also found.
From isolated metaxylem tracheary element, the simple perforation plates occupy the nearly
transverse end walls. The cell wall in this element was net-like form with the end walls closely
spaced bars on very oblique end walls.
Parenchyma cells of oil palm wood were mostly in the form of spherical cell with the thinwalled and brick-like in formation, but in narrow space or area between one vascular bundle to the others, this cell was commonly as elongated cell and oval-cell shapes. Physically,
parenchyma cell was like spongy, moist in green condition, very lightweight and easily to separate one cell to the others and it was very hygroscopic, where easy to evaporate when temperature is rising and also easily to absorb the moist in high humidity condition. This behaviour
answered why the moisture content of dried-wood of oil palm still unstable.
5.1.2 Wood Zoning Determination

The wood zoning of oil palm trunk was determined due to great variation of oil palm wood
properties, such as density, moisture, and mechanical properties along the trunk height and
depth. This condition caused many difculties in wood working processes. Therefore, the aim
of this experiment was to improve the homogeneity of lumber produced from oil palm trunk
which later uses for manufacturing the wood specimens. This wood zoning was dened on the
basic of vascular bundles distribution and population over the transverse section. The population
was dened by calculating the number of vascular bundles per certain unit area. The vascular
bundles were counted manually, whilst the recorded data was calculated and analyzed through
the mathematical and statistical analysis.
According to the obtained results, it can be stated that the distribution of vascular bundles was
increased from central point of the trunk toward the bark. Three different wood zoning were dened, i.e. inner zone (IZ), central zone (CZ) and peripheral zone (PZ). The average population
of vascular bundles at inner, central and peripheral zone were approx. 26; 46 and 97 vb/cm2 ,
respectively. Furthermore, by transforming the population of vascular bundles into their positions, it can be stated that the position of inner, central and peripheral zone at the transverse
section was approx. 39 mm ranging from 27 to 49 mm; 131 mm ranging from 115 to 137 mm
and 166 mm ranging from 151 to 172 mm from the central point of the trunk, respectively.
168
5.1. Conclusions
5.1.3 Physical Properties

Three physical properties of oil palm wood were investigated in this study, including moisture
content (MC), density and volumetric shrinkage. The moisture content of oil palm wood in
green condition can be reached more than 500% with the average of about 304%, ranging from
123 to 531%. Due to the trunk height and wood zoning factors, the moisture content was
gradually decreased from the bottom to the top of the trunk and it decreased from central point
toward the outer part of the trunk, respectively. This wood property at inner zone was higher
compared to MC at central and peripheral zone. The average MC at inner zone was one and half
times greater than peripheral zone, whilst the range of MC at central zone was almost covering
the other two zones, ranging from 185 to 531%.
The density of oil palm wood at inner and central zone were about 0.18 g/cm3 , ranging from
0.16 to 0.19, and 0.20 g/cm3 , ranging from 0.17 to 0.23, respectively. Whilst, the density at
peripheral zone was higher compared to the other two zones. It was about 0.40 g/cm3 , ranging
from 0.37 to 0.43. According to the statistical analysis, it can be stated that the oil palm wood
density at transverse section was gradually increased from inner to peripheral zone, but it was
slightly decreased from the bottom to the top of the trunk. The inuence of wood zoning factor
to the wood density of oil palm was higher than the trunk height factor. Due to the utilization
of oil palm wood, it is necessary to use this material separately based on their wood zoning.
The volumetric shrinkage of oil palm wood was gradually decreased from the bottom to the
top of the trunk and it varies between 10.3% and 22.8%. Looking at transverse section, the
shrinkage of oil palm wood in central zone was higher compared to inner and peripheral zones.
The shrinkage in central zone was about 19.6% ranging from 13 to 23%, whilst the shrinkage
value in inner and peripheral zone were about 16.7% (range 11 to 20%) and 16.8% (range 10 to
23%), respectively.
5.1.4 Mechanical Properties
Several mechanical properties of oil palm wood with and without bioresin reinforcement were
investigated on the basic of wood zoning, trunk height, impregnation time and bioresin concentration factors. Static bending strength (modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture), shear
strength parallel to grain, hardness strength, compression strength parallel to grain, tension parallel and perpendicular to grain, cleavage strength and nail withdrawal resistance were tested
referring to the ASTM Standard.
According to the obtained experimental results and statistical analysis, it can be stated that the
oil palm wood treated with bioresin using heat technique resulted a higher mechanical strength
in comparison to the untreated wood and the treated wood using chemical technique. Further,
wood zoning factor at transverse section was very important factor in affecting the mechanical
properties of oil palm wood. It is selected as the primary factor in order to utilize the oil palm
wood, because most of statistical analysis for all mechanical testings were signicantly different
compared to the untreated wood. In addition, the visual investigation also performed that this
treated wood has a better wood surface and more compact. Therefore, it can be concluded that
to use the oil palm wood, it is necessarily to separate this wood into inner (IZ), central (CZ)
and peripheral zone (PZ). The next factor that must be taken into consideration is trunk height.
This factor also resulted a signicantly effect for most of mechanical testings. Generally, it is
necessary to use the oil palm trunk separately between up to 5 m and more than 5 m height.
169
5.1. Conclusions
Concerning to the bioresin reinforcement process, the optimum impregnation time is achieved
in 150 seconds.
5.1.5 Machinery Properties
Machining tests are carried out to determined the working qualities and characteristics of wood
under a variety of machine operations such as are encountered in commercial manufacturing
practice. Working quality of wood is performed by the presence of wood defects after machining process. Further, machining quality of wood was expressed by the percentage of surface
defects area of the wood specimen. It was examined through the visual observation of the surface defect. The testings were conducted referring to ASTM Standard D 1666-90 [7], including
cross cutting, planning, shaving, moulding and boring for untreated wood (UW) and treated
wood with bioresin using heat technique 150 seconds (WBH).
Several wood defects has been observed on the oil palm wood, such as chipped grain, fuzzy
grain and burl. Generally, the machining quality of the untreated wood of oil palm was increased
from poor or fair quality to good or very good quality after treating with bioresin using heat
technique. It is attributed to the fact that bioresin reinforcement was inuencing positively to
reduce the percentage of surface defects.
5.1.6 Bioresin Reinforcement
Bioresin reinforcement was applied to improve the physical, mechanical and machinery properties of oil palm wood. This was done using the bioresin which was derived from pine resin. This
material was glassy solid, semi transparent, and soluble in many organic solvent. It was brittle
at room temperature (27 C), but melts at stove-top temperature with softening point starting
at 75 C. The proper condition of bioresin for treating the oil palm wood was at temperature
of about 180 C, where the bioresin enables to penetrate into wood through the intercellular
cavities and back into solid and thermoset stages until the room temperature was achieved.
Furthermore, based on the bioresin feature that soluble in many organic solvent, the acetone
was selected as solvent in this study for conducting the chemical technique of bioresin reinforcement. According to these conditions, therefore the bioresin reinforcement was applied and
investigated in order to improve the wood features of oil palm using both heat and chemical
techniques. Two experimental conditions of heat technique (150 and 300 seconds impregnation
time) and four experimental conditions of chemical techniques (24 and 48 hours impregnation
time; 10 and 20% bioresin concentration) were investigated in this study.
The experimental test for wood properties of oil palm based on several factors which affecting to
the quality of tested wood such as wood zoning, trunk height, impregnation time and bioresin
concentration through the statistical analysis investigation resulted that the proper technique
of bioresin reinforcement was using heat than chemical (acetone). The optimum condition of
process using heat technique was achieved at impregnation time for 150 seconds at temperature
of 180 C with the fbr value of about 0.73. By applying the heat technique and its condition, the
wood properties of oil palm wood increase signicantly in comparison to the untreated wood,
both technically and statistically.
Generally, the density of oil palm wood after treated with bioresin both heat and chemical techniques was generally increased more than 70%. An increasing of bioresin retention was resulted
170
5.2. Recommendations
an increasing in wood density. The bioresin penetrated through the intercellular cavities of oil
palm wood. Most of the mechanical properties of oil palm wood also increases signicantly after treating with the bioresin using heat technique through the above mentioned condition of the
process. The machinery properties tests including cross cutting, planning, shaving and moulding and boring for the treated wood with bioresin using the heat technique resulted a higher
performances in comparison to the untreated wood of oil palm. The treated wood of oil palm
was visually more compact compared to the untreated wood. The wood surface quality was
also better and almost no fuzzy grain after nishing process, unlike the untreated wood which
commonly exists.
5.2 Recommendations
Based on the analysis of the results and discussions obtained in this research, the following
recommendations have been proposed by the author to help in:
Improving the technology of oil palm wood processing and utilization.
Developing the technology of bioresin reinforcement of oil palm wood, particularly to
increase the penetration of bioresin using vacuum and high pressure condition and explore
the proper organic or anorganic solvents.
5.2.1 Recommendations for improving the oil palm wood processing and utilization
In order to improve the oil palm wood processing and utilization, at least two important factors
should be taken into consideration, i.e. wood zoning and trunk height. Wood zoning is very
important factor in order to reduce the heterogeneity of wood properties toward the central
point of the trunk. Whilst, by considering to the trunk height, the variation of wood properties
along the trunk could be minimized. Therefore, according to the ndings in this study, it is
recommended to use the oil palm wood separately based on the wood zoning (inner, central and
peripheral zone) to improve the homogeneity of the produced lumber or timber. Consider to
trunk height factor, the trunk was recommended to be cut into several lengths, such as up to 5
m and more than 5 m.
The treated wood of oil palm using bioresin has very compact in formation and homogeny in
properties, therefore it has very good prospect for furniture, panel based products as well as
structural material. But using this treated wood in high temperature condition (e.g. > 60 C), it
has to be taken into consideration due to the softening point of bioresin starting at 75 C. Thus,
regarding this aspect, it is highly recommended to investigate the behavior of this treated wood
in high temperature condition for achieving a proper allocation of the utilization purposes of oil
palm wood.
5.2.2 Recommendations for developing the bioresin reinforcement of oil palm wood
Regarding to develop the bioresin reinforcement of oil palm wood technology, it is necessary to
do the research concerning to increase the retention and penetration of the bioresin, particularly
to penetrate the bioresin into parenchymatous ground tissue which have many pits on their cellwalls, for example by using the vacuum and high pressure conditions.

B Mathematical Analysis of Oil Palm Wood Zoning

Regarding to develop the oil palm wood zone area by applying the two assumptions that mentioned in Section 3.2.1.2, the spherical form of sampling area was used for mathematical analysis of the vascular bundles distribution over the transverse section at certain height. In case of
spherical form, the samplings is plotted or drawn along the radius of the trunk from the pith to
the outer part of the trunk. The Figure B.1 showed how the sampling area is plotted at transverse
section.

The number of sampling is dened as the following mathematical analysis:

If Af b is the area of oil palm trunk without bark at transverse section at a certain height, then it
can be interpretation using the following equation:
Af b = 0.25Df2 b
(B.1)
Further, if Df b is the average diameter of oil palm trunk without bark in cm and rf b is the
average radius of oil palm trunk without bark in cm, therefore:
Df b = 2rf b
(B.2)
If As is area of sampling and ds diameter of sampling, then the total area of all sampling in Af b
by refering to equation B.1 and B.2, it can be dened as the equation below:
As = 0.25d2s
(B.3)
In this case, Ats = ns As ,then,

203
Chapter B. Mathematical Analysis of Oil Palm Wood Zoning

Ats = ns 0.25d2s
(B.4)
Where Ats and ns are total area and total number of samplings respectively.
According to Assumption 1, the total area of all sampling is not less than 10% of the area of
oil palm trunk without bark at transverse section. By applying this assumption, the number of
sampling can be dened by combining equation B.1 and B.4.
Ats 0.1Af b
(B.5)
ns As 0.1Af b

ns 0.25d2s 0.1 0.25Df2 b

0.1 0.25Df2 b

(B.6)
Based on the obtained formula, the number of sampling defends on the size of sampling diameter. In order to decide the size of sampling diameter, condition of the equipment and human
error during determination of vascular bundles distribution must be taken into consideration.
Therefore, to dene the size of diameter and the number of sampling shall be develop on the
basis of radius of oil palm trunk (rf b ) and the assumption 2. The following operation is presented to clarity the above problem. Refer to equation B.6 and B.3 and also applying assumption
2, the sampling diameter can be dened as:
As = 0.25d2s if As = 1
then,

ds =
As
0.25
1
= 1.128379167096
0.25
Using the obtained value of sampling diameter, the number of sampling along the radius can be
dened as:
ds =
nsr =
rf b
ds
(B.7)
where nsr is the number of sampling along the average radius of the trunk, therefore
nsr =
204
rf b
1.128379167096
(B.8)

Applying the obtained (equation B.8), the number of sampling along the trunk (nsr ) value might
consist of decimal. Therefore, it should be modied by rounding-up the calculated value of (nsr )
and also to achieve assumption 1, and then the above equation can be modied into:
nsr =
rf b
n
sr
1.128379167096
(B.9)
where n
sr is rounded up value of (nsr ) value.
Furthermore, using the n
sr value, the new size of diameter (ds ) can be dened as the following
operation:
n
sr =
rf b
ds
(B.10)
rf b
ds =
n
sr
(B.11)
Then, the new area of sampling (As ) can be calculated using the following calculation:
Where,
As = 0.25 d2s
(B.12)
Ats = n
s As
(B.13)

s 0.25 d2s
Ats = n
(B.14)
and
Then,
In this case, n
s is number of sampling at ds . In order to verify whether the total are of samplings
in Af b has achieves the assumption 1 or not, and to determine the position of samplings in Af b ,
applying n
s , ds , and assumption 1, where the total area of all sampling is not less than 10% of
the area of oil palm trunk without bark at certain height, the following mathematical operation
can be used to solve the above problem.
Ats 0.1Af b Assumption 1

n
s 0.25 d2s 0.1 0.25Df2 b

0.1 0.25Df2 b

n
s
0.25 d2s

Df2 b

s 0.1
d2
(B.15)
Focusing at the center point (pith) of the trunk where the sampling begin to be drawn at that
position and to avoid repeating during calculation of all sampling in Af b and also to dene the
205

distribution of all sampling, therefore the number of radius which is formed by drawing several
sets of spherical sampling along the radius is dened as the following equation:
Refer to equation B.10 and if M is the number of sampling sets along the average radius of the
trunk, then
M=
(
ns 1)
(
nsr 1)
(B.16)
In this situation, there are two alternative ways, whether the M value must be rounded-up or
rounded-down to achieve the Assumption 1. Further, if Atsr is the total area of sampling at ds
along the radius rf b , then
Atsr = n
sr As
(B.17)
Concerning to the position of sampling, the area of sampling at pith position (Ap ) is drawn as a
center point for all sampling set at transverse section of the trunk. Therefore, the total area of
sampling along the radius except at Ap can be dene as the following equation:
where, Ap = As and Atsr = Atsr As then
Atsr = As (
nsr 1)
(B.18)
The following mathematical operation is to verify the total area of sampling with ds and n
s has
achieved the assumption 1 or not.
If Ats = M Atsr + As and assumption 1 with the above condition is Ats 0.1Af b , then
Ats 0.1Af b

M Atsr + As 0.1Af b

M As (
nsr 1) + As 0.1Af b

Test M value:

M As (
(B.20)
If the rounded-down of M value is more than or equal to 10% of the area of oil palm
trunk without bark at transverse section at certain height, so the rounded-down of M is
already achieved the assumption 1.
If the rounded-down of M value is less than 10% of the area of oil palm trunk without
bark at transverse section at certain height, then the M value must be rounded-up.
Furthermore, the position of all spherical sampling at transverse section is drawn and arranged
in line along the average radius of oil palm trunk. One set of spherical sampling except the
sampling at pith point is the area of sampling for each M , therefore the position of M can be
determined using the equation below:
m =
3600
M
(B.21)
Where m is a distance between one set or series of the sampling to the others.
In advance, the percentage of sampling can be modied depends on the requirement of the
experimental objective. Therefore, the equation for determining M value can be modied into
the following equation:
In case the spherical sampling form:

f Df2 b d2s
M
d2 n
sr d2
s
(B.22)
In case the square sampling form:

0.25f Df2 b ls2
M
l2 (
nsr 1)
(B.23)
Where f is percentage of sampling (%).

Using the above mathematical analysis, the calculation of the obtained data of two selected
trunk which were divided into 24 oil palm wood disk samples are presented in Table 4.3 (see
Section 4.1.2). In this table, the representative number of sampling; number of sampling for
each series; and distance of one sampling series to another were denitely dened.
The complete data of number and population of vascular bundles for sample Trunk-1 (incl.
wood disk-1 to wood disk-12) are presented in Table B.1; B.2; B.3; B.4 and B.5; B.6; B.7;
B.8, respectively. Whilst, the complete data of number and population of vascular bundles for
sample Trunk-2 (incl. wood disk-1 to wood disk-12) are presented in Table B.9; B.10; B.11;
B.12 and B.13; B.14; B.15; B.16, respectively.

C Statistical Analysis of Oil Palm Wood Zoning
In this chapter, the theoretical of statistical analysis was discussed in order to analyze the experimental data of vascular bundles distribution for determining the oil palm wood zones. This
analysis was particularly generated using SPSS program version 15.0 to develop the position
and border-line of inner, central and peripheral zones. Using the average data of vascular bundle
populations for each position at transverse sectional view of oil palm wood, which was obtained
from previous mathematical analysis, the area of oil palm zone was determined by grouping and
classifying the similar values of number of vascular bundles per certain area on the basis of their
position from the central point to the outer part of the trunk. Figure 3.7 in Section 3.2.1.2 is
presented an illustration how the samplings and the representative data collection were drawn
and calculated, respectively. Looking at all sampling along the average radius in that gure, the
vascular bundles distribution from the center point (pith) to the outer part of the trunk can be
symbolized using the following statistical operation:
P ith (P ) P 1 P 2 P 3 ... P n outer part

Further, looking at the position of sampling, the average number of vascular bundles at each position in rotate clockwise direction for whole series of samplings can be dened as the following
equation:

Finally, general form of the above equations is:

Vj =
Sij
k=1
(C.1)
i = 1, 2, 3, ..., m
j = 1, 2, 3, ..., n
k = 1, 2, 3, ..., m
Where, Vj is the average of vascular bundles at position j from the pith; Sij is total number of
vascular bundles at sampling series i and position sampling j from the pith and M is number of
sampling series.
Furthermore, the statistical analysis of oil palm wood zone was generated through the analysis
of variances homogeneity of the population of vascular bundles at each positions. In this part,
two hypotheses were proposed, i.e.:
H0: the whole populations of vascular bundles do have an equal variance.
H1: the whole populations of vascular bundles from central point to the outer part of the
trunk do not have an equal (unequal) variance.
Basic principe to decide a decision from the above hypotheses was using the probability analysis
as describe in the following operation:
If the probability of homogeneity of variances test result is more than 0.05 (p > 0.05),
the H0 is accepted, and
If the probability of homogeneity of variances test result is less than 0.05 (p < 0.05), the
H0 is refused.
After dening the variance population of the vascular bundles at all positions through homogeneity test, further testing was analysis of variance by using One-Way ANOVA test. The aim
of this test is to examine mean value of the whole populations of vascular bundles at all positions, whether they do have equal or unequal mean. In this case, the others two hypotheses were
proposed as follow:
trunk do have an equal mean value.
trunk do not have an equal (unequal) mean value.
The F-test was applied to decide a decision from the above hypotheses on the basic of the
following operation:
If F-calculated < F-table or the probability is more than 0.05 (p > 0.05), the H0 is accepted, and
225

If F-calculated > F-table or the probability is less than 0.05 (p < 0.05), the H0 is refused.
After deciding the homogeneity of variances and mean value of the population of vascular
bundles, the obtained decisions were then used to determine the zone position of oil palm wood,
whether it is belong to inner zone (IZ), central zone (CZ) or peripheral zone (PZ), by using the
Post Hoc Multiple Comparisons analysis.
In this Post Hoc analysis, the populations of vascular bundles were classied by multiple comparisons of mean value through the two alternative assumption of variances, i.e.:
1. Equal Variances Assumed (EVA), it is used if the equal variances of vascular bundle
populations were assumed, then the analysis is examined using Duncans test.
2. Equal Variances Not Assumed (EVNA), it is used if the unequal variances of vascular
bundle populations were assumed, then the analysis is examined using Tamhanes T2
test.
The above assumptions of variances is depend on the result of test of homogeneity of variances,
which has already done previously. According to the result from multiple compares mean value
of vascular bundle populations, the dened groups or classes of vascular bundle population were
then transformed into sampling position of the population and plotted its position at transverse
section of the trunk starting from the central point to the outer part of the trunk. This was
conducted to dene the distance of the oil palm wood zone from the central point. Finally, the
oil palm wood zones, including inner, central and peripheral were identied.
In order to provide a proper visualization of the oil palm wood zoning, each positions or coordinates of the zone were then plotted and drawn in two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional
views (3D). This was generated using the computer language program and graphic plot, namely
FORTRAN and GNUPlot version 4.1, respectively.
SPSS Analysis Results for Sample Trunk-1
According to the above mentioned analysis operation, the following statistical operation was
presented to analysis the oil palm wood zoning at transverse section for sample wood disk-1
(Trunk-1). Number and population of vascular bundles of sample wood disk-1 is presented in
Table C.1, below:
Based on data from the above table, the descriptives of the obtained data by statistical analysis,
including mean value, standard deviation, standard error, 95% condence interval for mean, and
maximum and minimum values of wood-disk-1 is summarized in Table C.2. The lowest and the
highest vascular bundles population were about 12.7 at sampling position S5 and 105.7 vb/cm2
at S19, respectively. The total mean of all samplings was about 31.4 vb/cm2 with std. deviation
and std. error of about 17.7 and 1.2, respectively. By this data condition, it was indicated that the
populations of vascular bundles range were very wide-range, and thus, therefore the samplings
necessary to be divided into several groups based on their positions to determine the oil palm
wood zoning.
The analysis was continued to the test of variances homogeneity of vascular bundles population.
The result of this analysis is presented in Table C.3. In this table provides the Levene test
to check the assumption that the variances of vascular bundles populations are equal or not
signicantly different. It resulted that the probability is about 1.94.1016 or p < 0.05, therefore
226

the Levene test was signicant, and thus the assumption of equal variances of vascular bundles
population at wood disk-1 (H0) is violated. It means that the populations of vascular bundles
at the position from central point toward the outer part were signicantly different. This was
reasonable argument to differentiate the wood zoning based on population of vascular bundles.
Furthermore, the ANOVA test was done to analyze whether the all populations are equal or
unequal mean values. The result for this test is presented in Table C.4. A statistically signicant
different was found for populations of vascular bundles at wood disk-1, where the probability
was about 7.94.1087 or p < 0.05. Therefore, the assumption of equal mean variances of
vascular bundles population (H0) at wood disk-1 is also violated.

By using the obtained decisions from test of homogeneity of variances and ANOVA, the post
hoc test was calculated using the assumption equal variances not assumed (EVNA), because
the variances of vascular bundles population at wood disk-1 was unequal. According to the analysis result of post hoc test by multiple comparisons operation, the vascular bundles populations
were grouped by similarity of population values, which showed by the signicantly different of
the obtained result ( is signed for value that signicantly difference at level 0.05). The difference values were then plotted and transformed into position of sampling at transverse section of
wood disk. To differentiate between one zone to the others was marked by typing in different
colour of letter as shown in the Table C.5. The oil palm wood zoning was symbolized using
columnar-table. The columnar-1; columnar-2 and columnar-3 were marked for inner zone (IZ),
central zone (CZ) and peripheral zone (PZ), respectively.
Summary from this result, it can be mentioned that the inner zone area was located from S1 to
S7; and from S8 to S14 and S15 to S19 were for central zone and peripheral zone, respectively.
On the basis of distance from central point, it can be stated that IZ; CZ and PZ were approx.
70mm; 70mm and 50mm, respectively. These distances was necessary to be corrected due to
the calibration of apparatus during counting the vascular bundles. The correction of each zone
was expressed in the following equations:
IZ = ((xi + 5 + (
CZ = ((xc + (
xi
))
10
(C.2)
xc
))
10
(C.3)
P Z = rf b (IZ + CZ)
(C.4)
Where, xi is inner zone distance in mm; 5(mm) is a radius of sampling at central point posiiorc
tion; xc is central zone distance in mm; ( X10
) is distance of one sampling to another (mm);
and rf b is radius of the trunk without bark.
Therefore, the corrected distance of IZ, CZ and PZ were then approx. 82mm; 77mm and
55mm, respectively. Furthermore, the similar statistical analysis was also carried out for sample
Trunk-1 (incl. wood disk-2 to wood disk-12) and Trunk-2 (incl. wood disk-1 to wood disk-12).
The descriptives results of statistical analysis for sample Trunk-1 (incl. wood disk-1 to wood
disk-12) are presented in Table C.6; C.7; C.8; C.9; C.10; C.11; C.12; C.13; C.14; C.15; C.16;
C.17, respectively.

According to the summarized results in Table C.18 and C.19, all homogeneity test of variances
of vascular bundles populations were signicantly different. This was indicated by the probability for all wood disks which were less than 0.05 (p < 0.05). Its mean that all the Levene tests
were signicant, and thus the assumption of equal variances of vascular bundles population at
wood disk-1 (H0) is violated. In other words, the populations of vascular bundles at the position
from central point toward the outer part were signicantly different.
Due to all variances of population of vascular bundles were unequal or signicantly different
at level 0.05, therefore the post hoc multiple comparison was analyzed using the assumption
equal variances not assumed (EVNA) through the Thamhanes T2 test.
